July Events 2011

We are going to be doing several events this July in Indiana. It has been extraordinarily hot, and will likely continue to be so, be sure to look at the weather before the event. If there are heat advisories for either of these days, then the event will be canceled. (It is 94 with a heat index of 115 as I write this in Bloomington.) Any such advisory will be posted on this page.

Also, we were originally going to be out at Salamonie on the 16th, but I went out there a couple days ago, and it was virtually devoid of fungi. 

July 16th – Griffey Woods (Bloomington, IN)
First, this upcoming Saturday, July 16th, we will be meeting at Griffey Woods in Bloomington, IN. We will meet at the parking lot on Hadley/Hinkle Rd. on the North side of Griffey Reservoir. Meeting time will be at 3pm and we will walk for an hour or so.

July 23rd – Salamonie Reservoir (Andrews, IN) – Tree & Mushroom ID
The next meeting will take place July 23rd at 3pm. We are going to be meeting at Salamonie Reservoir – Lost Bridge West SRA. We will be walking along Tree Trail.

Salamonie Reservoir is located just east of Wabash Indiana. Lost Bridge West SRA is a wooded area on the south side of the reservoir. It is located just north of the intersection of IN-105 and IN-124.

Going north on 105, turn left to go towards Lost Bridge West. Enter into the park, and there will be a $5 fee per car, unless you have a yearly DNR pass ($38). Follow the road all the way back to the boat ramp near the reservoir. On the backside of the parking lot is the entrance to the Tree Trail where we will meet.

Aside from mushrooms, the tree trail will give everyone a chance to review or to become better acquainted with tree identification. It is an interpretive trail with around 20 trees trail that have the species name on them.
