A great group of people attended the Henry Cowell Habitat Walk this last Saturday. These hearty mushroom enthusiasts were greeted with early rain, muddy conditions…
I've been out 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks in a variety of locations. I've seen an abundance of very small mushrooms (<.5" caps), but few of any species any larger. It almost seems like things started to come up and then paused.
To open the 2013 - 2014 mushroom season the Fungus Fed of Santa Cruz held a habitat walk of Marshall Fields (upper UCSC campus) on the morning of Saturday, September 28th. Though significant amounts of rain had yet to fall, the event was well attended by an enthusiastic group of around 20 fungiphiles.
