Boston Mycological Mushroom Walk

The Boston Mycological Club (BMC) will conduct a hunt for fungi in  the woods of the Daniels Farmstead, 286 Mendon Street, Blackstone, MA on  July 24th, beginning at 10:30 am.  This event includes collecting  specimens for l.5 hours and then returning to tables at the Daniels  Barnyard for display, identification and information.  All ages are  welcome.  Persons interested in attending should be prepared for walking  in the woods including closed toed shoes and long pants (familiarize  yourself with ticks and poison ivy).  If possible, also bring the  following items: a sharp knife for cutting specimens off of dead logs  and a butter knife or spoon for digging up fungi growing in soil, a  basket or paper bag for carrying specimens in, and a magnifying glass or  better a jeweler’s loupe.  But really the most important thing to bring  is curiosity!  Experienced members of the BMC will be there to lead you  and help identify the specimens you collect.  Person interested in more  information about fungi and joining the BMC may visit  www.bostonmycologicalclub.org.
