Echo Summit
2016 Echo Summit Foray -- CANCELLED
Foray cancelled. Unfortunately, reports of bone dry conditions and few sign ups compelled us to cancel this annual foray. Next year we hope for better dates and weather!
Our Annual Echo Summit Foray is scheduled for September 2 - 5, Labor Day Weekend, at the California Alpine Club’s Echo Summit Lodge, with breathtaking views overlooking the Tahoe Basin. If thunderstorms cooperate we will find quite a variety of fungi, including edibles, such as Bol
etus and Leccinum. Regardless of the number of mushrooms found, we always have a wonderful time.
There is no limit to the foray size itself. FFSC members are welcome to stay off site and join us for the foray and meals. There is also RV parking next to the lodge. The lodge fills up fast so make sure you reserve your space in advance. Reservations for the lodge will open August 1. You must be a FFSC member for you and your family to attend.

Echo Summit Foray Recap
Our 2013 Echo Summit foray was met with stunning early Autumn weather, warm sunny days and clear night skies. The view from the California Alpine Club lodge was amazing and the company exceptional.
Although little rain had yet blessed the Sierras, over 35 species were found as we sought out moisture-hoarding locales...
