This annual Foray/Picnic event brought together around 30 members and new fungi enthusiasts from the New York Mycological Society (NYMS) and the Connecticut-Westchester Mycological Association (COMA). Our able walk leaders were Dennis Aita of NYMS and Morrs Palmer of COMA. The weather has been dry during the past couple of weeks, so we didn't find enormous numbers of any particular species of mushroom, but we did find quite a variety of species.
