    The next meeting of this organization will take place September 11th at 3pm. We are going to be meeting at Morgan-Monroe State Forest.  There is a shelter located near Cherry Lake - at the junction of Forest Rd. and Service Rd. There is a large picnic area, and it is close to the forest office.

    As with the last event, we would ask everyone to bring a good food or drink item so we can have a pitch-in dinner at the end of the event. Also, BYOB/cocktails.

    IF WE CONTINUE THIS CYCLE OF NO RAIN, THIS EVENT WILL BE POSTPONED. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL, OUR BLOG, OR OUR FACEBOOK PAGE BEFORE THE EVENT TO MAKE SURE IT IS STILL ON AS SCHEDULED.


    Directions:

    Morgan Monroe State Forest is located between Martinsville, IN and Bloomington, IN - just east of State Road 37. Coming either North or South on S.R. 37, there will be signage along side the road for an entrance into the State Forest. Follow the signs toward the Park Office, which is very near the Cherry Lake Shelter.

    Camping:

    Available at the Mason Ridge Campground, located behind the fire tower to the north of the Forest Office. There are picnic tables and grills at each of the primitive camping sites. We had a great time camping after the last event!
    Schedule:

    ? - 3pm - Feel free to come early and hunt throughout the park until we first gather.
    3:00 - 3:30 - Gather at Cherry Lake Shelter - Introductions
    3:30 - 6:00 - Hunting time
    6:00 - 8:00 - ID Our Finds, Food, Discussion

    We will have printouts of a selected dichotomous key for everyone. We will work through the key together, learning some of the identification basics about what to look for, and how to use a key to identify mushrooms.

    Also, be sure to check on your stem butt cultures. Just open the bag and the cardboard. You should see mycelial threads beginning to stretch away from the stem butt locations. They should be coming along nicely for those who made them at the last meeting. Be sure to bring it with you to this upcoming meeting.
