FFSC News & Stories

Just when those creepy little bloodsuckers seemed to become resistant to all pest control options, in comes the mycological equivalent of Buffy the vampire slayer, Nina Jenkins and colleague Matthew Thomas.

(Cancelled) Once again, Dennis Desjardin and San Francisco State University will be offering their week-long class at the SFSU Sierra Field Station. Students will be introduced to the different kinds of mushrooms and other large fungi that occur in the spring in the Sierra Nevada.

An exhibition of Barbara Cordes' amazing fungal photography is on now at Odonata Winery Tasting Room.

A new illustration from Taylor Lockwood. Can you count how many mushrooms are there? :-)

A bit of lichen-laden poetry (with apologies to Robert Burns) as intro to the upcoming Bioblitz at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

I went to the All California Clubs Foray (ACCF) in Albion last weekend. We actually found an amazingly large number of mushrooms so the myco-geeks were thrilled. Edibles? - only a few chanterelles, hedgehogs and winter chanterelles.
