Fun with Fungi

Posted by | November 2, 2023 | Filed under: Program Activities

This past Sunday, fourteen of us joined Dr. Lawrence Millman for the Fun with Fungi program and had a wonderful time! The first hour was spent indoors, gaining foundational knowledge regarding the fascinating world of mycelium, spores, rhizomorphs, xylindein, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, white rotters, black rotters, and more! We then bundled up and hit the trails in search of fungus, and discovered so many beautiful specimens. Below are photos I took of some of them. Thanks so much for facilitating our learning, Larry, and many thanks to all of you enthusiastic program participants, too. It was a "fun with fungi" afternoon indeed!
