A non-profit organization whose aims are to provide a means for sharing ideas, experiences, knowledge and common interests regarding fungi, and to furnish mycological information and educational materials to those who wish to increase their knowledge about mushrooms.
BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENTS

Our next foray is at the Kittle Field Picnic Area of Stokes State Forest, and is our annual Grete Turchick Foray and Picnic. Bring food to share, and also be sure to bring your own picnic gear and utensils. There are grills at the site, but remember that others will be using them as well. Be sure to write your recipes clearly on a card so that all can see your ingredients. The foray is scheduled for Sunday, September 12 at 10:00 AM and the picnic will follow when we return from the woods.

Please note that this is a foray on state land and we are subject to the rules and regulations stated in our permit. No mushrooms may be collected for consumption, and no more than five specimens of any species may be collected.

FUNGUS FEST 2010 - SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19!

Our big annual public event/exhibition, Fungus Fest 2010, will be held on Sunday, September 19 from 10AM to 4PM at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown. The day promises to be a day of fun and learning about mushrooms and is suited for the entire family. Participate in guided walks, bring in your mushrooms for our experts to identify, learn about mushroom cooking, cultivation, and crafts. Learn how to recognize some of the poisonous mushrooms that grow here in New Jersey. We'll also have books, field guides, and mushroom arts and crafts for sale. This event is free and open to the public, but we do request a small donation of $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children under 16 to help us defray the costs of holding this event each year. Click here to download the poster which we ask you to print out and post on your local community bulletin boards.
