Mycology Class Fall Foray

Two dedicated students from the PPATH 425 course of introductory mycology at Penn State met Aaron D. Brown for a guided foray. During the two hour walk through the Hartley Wood, adjacent to Sunset Park, many species of Basidiomycota were collected. Identification to genera and species was performed in the lab with the aide of multiple field guides. The "inky cap" mushroom can be seen here, prior to drying down for long-term storage.

Whipple Damn Fall Foray 2009

Wonderful walk through Whipple Damn Park collecting array of fruiting fungal bodies. Some very informative instruction from local mushroom expert Bill Russell and Dr. Barrie Overton from Lock Haven University. It is my intention to create a comprehensive database of Pennsylvania fungi using species lists compiled during this foray and other forays throughout PA.
