2018 Foray

We were lucky enough to have Michael Jordan lead a fungi foray in October 2018. Although conditions were fairly poor for fungi after a prolonged dry spell, 41 species were collected and identified. The photos below were taken over a period of years at the reservoir, the first one from the foray itself.
