We did a looksee on Sunday and the mushrooms are starting to come alive due to the increased rain we've had. Lots of russulas, slime molds, LBMs, a waxy cap or two, chickens of the woods, oysters and we didn't cover nearly all there is to offer.

We invite everyone to take a fun survey at surveymonkey.com. We're hoping to gather information so we can make the MHMA better for everyone. We'll be posting results in two weeks.
We'll also be using some of the results to finalize the remainder of the walks for the year. Click on the link and have [...]
