Mushroom Walk at Rice Lake Nov 19, 2023
6 members and a guest joined leaders Anne Leathem and Teresa Gagné.
We moseyed about 2 km in 3 hours on the South East side of Rice Lake, with everyone calling out their finds every few steps. Despite being late in the season there was a surprisingly large variety of fungi.
One participant wrote: What I most appreciated was coming away with a process of thinking about mushroom identification (particularly your well-illustrated explanation of different systems of spore dispersal), about learning their different roles in forest ecology, and, perhaps most compelling to me, their beauty.
The sample 8 photos below show categories bird’s nest, coral, milky cap etc…
