Hi all,
Over the last year I have been studying mushrooms.  I have I learned all the basics of identification, however many are difficult to positively identify.  Does joining MHMA mean that on walks, more experienced members help newer members learn to identify mushrooms or do you need to be a mushroom expert to join?  If so, is there another way to become an expert?

Not to mention avid 'shroomers aren't necessarily willing to let on what their good spots are. If you are curious what kinds of mushrooms can be found in the Northeast I would suggest you pick up a copy of the Audubon Guide to Mushrooms.

David Work dubbed me "The Porcini Queen" and I mean to live up to that title again this year! Good hunting to one and all, P.Q.

The mycelium is underground and still alive of course, it's just the spore distributing mushrooms that have withered away.

There's lively discussion and many experts there. The group name is "MidHudsonMyco.org - Fungus Mushroom Mycology Club Hudson Valley New York" They'll tell you if you need a spore print or need to take out a microscope, or if your pictures are good enough for a positive ID.
