None-the-less, there was some really cool finds, including Hericium coralloides (a choice edible related to Lion's Mane), an Auriscalpium vulgare, some candy caps, and a collection of several robust and showy waxy caps.]
Just over 25 foragers attended, and for many it was there first time hunting for mushrooms. Thank you to everyone who joined; you were enthusiastic, had great questions, and found some awesome stuff. And thanks to Justin Pierce for helping with leading/identification!
