How can we know the mosses and mushrooms of the North Country? Fungi are fickle! We only find mushroom fruiting bodies when the weather cooperates. Mosses are more constant. In this class we will learn the basics of moss and mushroom identification. We will walk slowly through the woods, but we will walk, so come prepared with appropriate shoes and coats. 

LINK to a .pdf copy and a map on how to get to Glenmeal State Forest and where to park and where to meet your presenter, along with with what to wear and what to bring.

NOTES: 1) Print directions to site, map and notes on what to wear and what to bring will be sent with your registration confirmation; this info is also posted in the link above; 2) There are no restroom facilities; 3) Wear appropriate shoes/clothing for the day's weather; 4) Bring a 7X hand lens, if possible, and a notepad and pen; 5) Please only attend on the day for which you have been registered.
