Porodisculus pendulus, Tom Bigelow, Alley Pond Park, 4/14/19
Please join us on a walk in Alley Pond Park this Sunday.
We should expect to see tiny ascomycetes aka ‘dots on sticks’, crusts and polypores. Perhaps, if we’re lucky, we’ll also see a couple of the first spring fungi – genera like Agrocybe or Pluteus.
The more typical macrofungi will not appear in any abundance until late June.
If you’ve never been on a mushroom walk with us before, here’s what to expect.
Bring water and lunch. Note that ticks are now a year-round hazard.
Many members document their finds using the iNaturalist app – we highly recommend doing so.

It is always advisable to check the MTA Service Advisory web page: MTA Service Alerts.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
