%20psittacinus_%20%C2%A9%20Hugh%20Smith%20(from%20mykoweb_com).jpg)
Our most distant member was from Minnesota; he joined to attend the foray, and found that he likes leaving the snow for a while and collecting mushrooms in relative warmth.
Debbie Dawson served up fabulous food all week-end and the weather gods were accomodating: it rained for the drive up Friday, and Saturday was sunny and clear. Fungi were more abundant than expected, given the preceding dry, cold conditions, and many people cooperated to put names on the collections. See Douglas Smith’s synopsis and species list below.
Dr. Terry Henkel from Humboldt State gave a wonderful talk on wood rotters, providing valuable insight into a process we sometimes take for granted. The foray was a joint effort of the FFSC and BAMS. Many thanks to Debbie Viess and David Rust for all their efforts in making the weekend run so smoothly. The last ACCF was held two years ago, so plan to join us for the next one in a couple of years!
Thanks to our ace team of identifiers: Dr. Terry Henkel, Phil Carpenter, Henry Young, Douglas Smith, John Brown, Herman Brown, Debbie Viess, David Rust and a special virtual guest appearance by Dr. Dennis Desjardin, who nailed the ID on our “moth-ball” fungus, Camarophyllopsis foetens. For an interesting account of this mushroom, see this Mushroom of the Month article on the Bay Area Mycological Society website.
All California Clubs Foray Species List
It wasn't that good a year for edibles. Except for candy caps, which were found in abundance, the other edi-bles were scant. But it was a very good year for number of species found and ID'ed. As this was the All-California foray there were people working the id table from all over California, from Santa Cruz to Humboldt. And I think people spent time in the field looking for little weird guys, since the edibles weren't really coming.
One of the stars of the weekend were the Hygrocybe psittacina, which are usually rare, but this time every-one brought in a few and there was a pile at the end of the day. Also Russula stuntzii was found for the first time, never found or ID'ed before. But this time almost everyone brought one in.
This list has 140 species, the most found for a January foray in the history of keeping lists. There were also about 20 other incompletely identified mushrooms on the list as Genus sp. This list was compiled and com-pared between me ad Debbie Viess, with input from others. As a team effort we were able to get a more complete list. There were 24 new species added to list, which brings us back to 15-20% of species found each time are new to the list. In December only 8% of species found were new. This means were are still not finding a "complete" list of species to find up there, and there is more to find. Which is either good news, or bad news depending on how you look at it.
