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.
