Daniels Farm Walk
The BMC held a public walk at the Daniels Farm in Blackstone, MA on Sunday July 18th. About 20-30 people attended and there were many new faces. The weather was beautiful and warm. Coming out of a two week drought, there wasn't a lot of large fructifications, but there was enough to find and study. A few interesting and beautiful specimens included Lactarius volemus, Omphalotus olearius, Tapinella atrotomentosa, Xerula furfuracea, Agaricus campestris, Amanita volvata, and a Coprinus fungi on horse dung.
Many thanks to the great folks at Daniels farm for hosting us and our own ID committee chair George Davis for spearheading the ID session and table talk. Finally, thanks to all those enthusiastic 'shroomers who made the event a real success!
