August 2010 Mushroom Walk

Thursday, 08 July 2010 15:50

Next Meeting: August 7th @ 5pm @ Yellowood State Forest 
Gathering at the Picnic Shelter
Please Bring a Dish and/or Beverage for a Pitch-In Dinner

Thanks for all those who attended our first meeting. We had a good attendance, and found there to be a very diversified interest in mushrooms. Several people had a primary interest in bioremediation, others in cultivation, and many in identification and cooking. This diversity should make for many great learning opportunites for our members.

Our next scheduled meeting will be an event - a mushroom walk at Yellowood State Forest. This is a chance for people to learn about mushrooms in their natural environments. Attendees walk through the woods, identifying and collecting mushrooms as they go. At the end, we will meet as a group and go over what was found and cook up some of the finds!

We will be meeting at 5pm at the shelter near Yellow Wood Lake.   We are asking everyone to bring a dish or beverage to share.

Camping is available at Yellowood State Forest, and we will plan on camping on this evening. You are welcome to join us. Let us know if you are interested and we can reserve sites in the same area. Just emailsteve@hoosiermushrooms.com.

Below is the Park map. We apologize for the quality- there was no electronic version available.   As of now, we anticipate camping on the Red Pine loop. Camping is on a first come, first serve basis so we will scout out sites upon arrival then reserve with the park office.  There should be more then enough sites to accomidate our group.
