Ferncliff Forest Update and Directions

Posted by Ira Weiss on August 18, 2010 at 8:40 pm

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.
