Because of the ongoing drought we've been finding fungi only in very limited numbers, mostly crusts, polypores and ascomycetes. While we hope there will be interesting fungi at Wolfe's Pond, since it is damper than the rest of the city, there are no guarantees.

Bring lunch and water.

The club is headed to Long Pond Park on Staten Island this weekend. We have not visited this park during the summer, so our expectations about what we will find are a bit nebulous. The park is more remote than many others we visit in the city, so make sure you come prepared with proper clothing for the weather and a snack if you plan on staying the whole duration of the walk. There will be mosquitoes—we know that—and possibly ticks.

Bring lunch and water.

This walk marks the beginning of our official walk season and honors Gary Lincoff, who traversed Central Park countless times, often with the club in tow, spreading knowledge, stories and laughter wherever he went.

Find out more about Gary Lincoff here.

While it has been overcast and drizzly for the last few days we've had very little actual rain - less than half an inch in Central Park in the last couple of weeks. It's also still very early in the season so there are likely only very modest amounts of fungi to be found.

Bring water and lunch. There will be mosquitoes and possibly ticks, so make sure to protect yourself.
