Please join us for a pop-up walk in Forest Park, Queens, this Sunday!

The club is headed to Queens this week! This is a joint walk with Torrey Botanical Society. The Torrey Botanical Society was founded in the 1860’s under the aegis and inspiration of Columbia College Professor John Torrey, and is thought to be the oldest botanical society in America. Today, their mission is to "promote interest in botany, and to collect and disseminate information on all phases of plant science."

Walks typically last 3+ hours, with the option to depart at any time along the way.

Please join us for a walk Alley Pond Park, Queens this Sunday!

This week we are partnering with New York City EcoFlora, a citizen science project created by the New York Botanical Garden to document and conserve the biodiversity of New York City. You may recognize EcoFlora from their iNaturalist project, which automatically scrapes many observations from within city limits and compiles information about the City’s plants and their relationships with other organisms, such as birds, insects, and mushrooms.

This month, EcoFlora is running an EcoQuest challenge called Begin the Year with Basidiomycetes. The aim of the challenge is to record observations on iNat in the given category. We're sure to have many opportunities to contribute on our walk!

Please join us for a walk High Rock Park, Staten Island this Sunday!

This week the club returns to High Rock Park for the first time in several years! The cold has really settled in this week, which may spell the end for some of our more unusual off-season finds, but jellies, ascomycetes, and other cold-weather fungi are sure to be in abundance.

Please join us for a walk in Cunningham Park, Queens this Saturday!

Join us for a walk through Cunningham Park this weekend and as continue our winter fungi hunt. This time of year our focus turns mostly to the very small, inconspicuous organisms who do the important work of breaking down leaf litter and sticks into rich soil. These "dots on sticks" or ascomycetes are often unassuming to the naked eye, but become quite interesting under a hand lens or loupe.
