To Brush or to Wash? Generally speaking, the best mushrooms are fresh mushrooms. Refrigerate as soon as you get home, and don’t wash until you’re ready to prepare or process them. by Sue Willis Brushing a mushroom Keep fresh mushrooms in the fridge in paper or waxed paper bags, never plastic, as they need to breathe. Plastic bags will yield mush rather than mushrooms. Objective: Storage/Prep Total Time: Varies Suggested Mushrooms: No mushrooms listed. Equipment and/or Ingredients May you be fortunate enough to find sufficient mushrooms for dinner and then some! (Found bucketloads while on a foray? See Collection Ethics and Etiquette .) Method Brushing: One school of thought is that one must never get mushrooms wet, as this will dilute their flavor. Advocates instead carefully trim and brush their fungi clean. This can be achieved with a pristine bolete, but you’ll be crunching on grit if you try it with a mud puppy chanterelle! Washing: Another perspective is that fungi absorb a negligible amount of water from washing, and that subsequent cooking will drive off the moisture along with that already present in the mushroom (they’re 90% water). Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking , a wonderful exploration of food chemistry and taste, did an experiment: He weighed 252 grams of fresh mushrooms, submerged them in water for 5 minutes, then removed them, blotted dry and weighed again. They then weighed 258 grams, 23 mushrooms having absorbed less than half a tablespoon among them. So he now rinses for 5 or 10 seconds with no compunctions. You can make up your own mind.

News & Stories / Editoricus Blatheronsus: On Risk and Release Forms The return of fall means many things to many people. To me it means the reappearance of many wonderful things that make my life worth living.

News & Stories / Stewardship Message from Our Outgoing CEO It has been a distinct pleasure and honor to serve our club as CEO over the past four year. I must admit I accepted the job with considerable trepidation. With assurances from the other ministers (Henry Young in particular) that they would assist me if needed, I entered my name in the election. Bill White • May 1, 2009 Bill White It was a runaway victory made possible by the fact that no one else ran. As we come to the end of our FFSC fiscal year I have decided not run again for the CEO position. I think a new CEO can bring fresh ideas and energy to the task and help the club to continue to grow and prosper. I plan to stay involved with the club and will see you at the meetings and events. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and camaraderie. Minister positions are made even more enjoyable by the monthly Minister meetings at each others’ homes for dinner and FFSC business. It creates a fine opportunity to learn more about the club history as well as the other ministers. The food and wine make it even more fun. At the May general meeting the FFSC is holding elections for minister positions. I encourage all of you to attend and consider volunteering as a minister. Step-up and give some of your energy and time to help the club meet its goals for the community by entering your name for one of the open Minister positions. You will enjoy it as much as I have. Several Ministers are due special recognition for their contribution to the FFSC. Vernetta McGuire, our Minister of Culinary Events (with the capable assistance of hubby Bill) for her tireless efforts planning and executing the Christmas potluck and the highly admired Wine & Mushroom Feast. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her years of service to the FFSC. Margaret Carpenter and Richard Lyness are co-ministers taking on the challenges of the Culinary Committee. Monise Sheehan has worked diligently as the Minister of Stores for six years, generating considerable revenue for the club. She is stepping down and I must admit that she will be missed and difficult to replace. This is an extremely important position that provides the main source of revenue for the club. We are seeking a person who can follow her example and continue to coordinate our main finance source. The other Ministers are due their recognition too but I cannot put them all in this short piece. My apologies that I cannot detail the contributions of Marge Young, Richard Rammer, John Brown, and all of the other Ministers who give their energies tirelessly to make this club one of the premier clubs in NAMA. Our April speaker, Dr. Elio Schaechter, commented that the FFSC is different and more dynamic than most other myco-clubs he has visited. I suspected as much but his comments confirmed it for me. And his opinion is shared around the country — the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz is special. This is because of our members and the way the FFSC conducts business. We want you to help perpetuate our image with your involvement in setting goals, policies and activities. Come get more involved and expand your enjoyment of the FFSC by becoming a Minister.

News & Stories / The Largest Living Organism is a Fungus! Beneath the soil of the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon, a fungus that has been slowly weaving its way through the roots of the trees for centuries has become the largest living organism ever found. Madeleine Wyke • January 1, 2001 Armillaria ostoyae. © Fern (CC-BY-NC) (inaturalist.org, obs. 249114389) The Armillaria ostoyae , popularly known as the honey mushroom, started from a single spore and has been spreading its filaments through the forest for an estimated 2,400 years, killing trees as it grows. It now covers 2,200 acres. The outline of the giant fungus stretches 3.5 miles across, and it extends an average of 3 feet into the ground. It covers an area as big as 1,665 football fields. No one has estimated its weight. On the surface the only evidence of the fungus are clumps of golden edible mushrooms that pop up in the fall with the rain.

News & Stories / Message From Our Incoming CEO 2009 If you had told me back in 1984 that I would be making this salutation 25 years later, I would never have even considered the possibility... Bob Sellers • September 1, 2009 Bob Sellers But here we are, starting our next 25-year run, a prosperous and vibrant organization, with an incredible group of talented and dedicated members, some of whom have been with the group since it began; others who have joined the voyage only recently. As one of the original handful of "midwives" who helped give birth to the organization, I have occupied nearly every minister position in the FFSC over the years except for CEO. It seems appropriate that 25 years later, I volunteer for that role. This year's programs and events will follow our tradition of monthly meetings, local forays, long distance forays, and special culinary events. We also have changes in the works, including a new format for our mushroom ID class, led this season by Phil Carpenter. Details are included in this newsletter. We may also implement collecting trips before some of the classes. One of our premier events is the annual Fungus Fair in January, held in downtown Santa Cruz. We have co-produced the Fungus Fair with the City of Santa Cruz and the employees of the Museum of Natural History and the Museum Association for many years of the Fair’s history. The picture changed this year when the City’s budget crisis resulted in elimination of the paid Museum staff. In spite of these changes, we are now planning for the 2010 Fungus Fair in cooperation with the Natural History Museum Association. Your help in volunteering for the fair is more crucial than ever. The proceeds from sales at the Fungus Fair represent a substantial percentage of our yearly revenues, allowing the club to pay for such things as speakers and snacks at our meetings, equipment purchases, library additions and educational stipends to students studying mycology. Because the Fungus Fair is such a popular event, our publicity whiz member, Jim Maley, worked with a local California publication to write a piece about the Fungus Fair and FFSC. Look for the article in an upcoming issue of Sunset Magazine! Here's to a wet and wonderful mushroom season, everyone.

Media and Publicity If you're a member of the press or just looking for news about the Fungus Fair, we've collected useful info for you below. Fungus Fair Logo Artwork Members of the press are welcome to download and use these Santa Cruz Fungus Fair art files for publication. Please credit the artists and copyright holders. 2026 Santa Cruz Fungus Fair Logo For 2026 we held a logo design contest focusing on “Underground Wonders: Secrets of the Fungal Kingdom” as the Fair theme. The winning design was created by Viel Xander Olaguera (@vxolaguera) from Torrance, CA. The logo was used on T-shirts, posters, and postcards. Plus, several of the other contest entries were on display during the Fair. The 2026 logo uses the concept of “wood wide web” to emphasize the underground network of fungi that connects our world's plants. The design portrays the following California fungi, selected for their different features (from left to right and down): Zombie-ant fungus ( Ophiocordyceps unilateralis ), growing from its host carpenter ant A lobster mushroom ( Hypomyces lactifluorum ), a parasitic fungus best known as an edible delicacy and for dyeing textiles A King Bolete ( Boletus edulis ), better-known in grocery stores and restaurants as "porcini" Honey fungus ( Armillaria mellea ), a plant pathogen known to arborists as "oak root rot," to the curious for its bioluminescent mycelium, and to others for its subtle nutty and sweet flavor A death cap ( Amanita phalloides ), one of the most poisonous fungi in the world Mycelium, as the "wood wide web" Inspired by the bioluminescence of honey fungus mycelium, the logo on this year's Fungus Fair T-shirt will also glow in the dark!

Fungus Fair Poster Archive History of the Fungus Fair The Fungus Fair originated in 1974 at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, led by the efforts of David Arora, who went on to write “ All That the Rain Promises and More ” and “ Mushrooms Demystified ”, which is widely considered to be one of the best and most comprehensive mushroom guidebooks available. As the Fungus Fair grew, it found new homes throughout the county, including Harvey West Park and London Nelson Community Center. During the pandemic years of 2021-2023, the Fair took on new forms, as the Virtual and Outdoor Fair with a full week of live video lectures plus two weekends of small group, expert guided forays, and the Mini Fungus Fair held at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History. In January of 2024 the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz partnered again with the Santa Cruz Natural History Museum to bring the Fungus Fair triumphantly back to the London Nelson Community Center, celebrating the 50th anniversary with our largest event ever. The 2026 Santa Cruz Fungus Fair will be the 39th Fungus Fair organized by the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz. Visit the FFSC History page for more about the origins of the Santa Cruz Fungus Fair.

(2) Login by using the same email that you used for your FFSC membership. (3) If your password doesn't work, click the "Forgot password?" link to reset your password. I can't login. Is this your first time logging in after October 2025? If so, you will need to click the Forgot Password? link on the login page. (The new system doesn't know your old password.) Also, when you login from now on, you'll use the email associated with your FFSC account to login from now on. your old username (from October 2025 or earlier) won't work for logging in anymore. How do I log out? Click your user profile image, and then click the Log Out option. I haven't logged in since 2025. Where did all my old info go? If you already had an FFSC website account as of Nov. 3, 2025, your account was moved to this system. However, some of the old information (such as your past purchases) is only available on request. If you created a new account here instead of resetting the password for your existing account, please contact us so that we can help you. My password doesn't work. Make sure you are using your email as your username. On the login screen, click the Forgot Password? link to reset your password. Please note: Passwords created prior to Nov. 5 2025 will not be recognized until you reset your password. If that doesn't work, please contact us for help. On November 4th or 5th, 2025, I received an unexpected email about creating my password, but I've had a password years. Was that email legit? We moved our website to a new system in Nov. 2025. All existing paid-up members received an invitation on Nov. 4 or Nov. 5 to create a new password. If already reset your password since then, you can ignore the email. Or, if you're not comfortable clicking unfamiliar links in emails, you can use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page to reset your password instead. The "ffsc.us/user/reset/..." link I got a while back no longer works If you received an email before November 2025 with a link to login, that link will no longer work. Instead, follow the instructions above under "I have an account. How do I login?" to create a password. Then follow the instructions under "Membership FAQs" below to join the club. Membership FAQs What's the difference between the two membership plans? The "subscription" plan renews your membership dues automatically each year (PayPal will automatically charge your payment method). The "1 Year" plan does not automatically renew. (You need to remember to login and pay your membership dues each year.) See Why Join FFSC? for a detailed list of benefits. My "1 Year" membership expires soon. How do I renew it? When you buy a "Household Member 1 Year" plan, you will not see a Renew option in your account until the day after your current 1-year membership expires. You will not lose your membership records or any tickets you have purchased if your membership expired recently. It's OK to wait for it to expire, and then renew it. If you prefer to pay before your current 1-year membership expires, you can log in to your account and then just purchase another "Household Members 1 Year" plan. If you renew early, then during Checkout, we suggest you change the Start Date to be a date on or after your current membership year 's expiration. My "Subscription" membership expires soon. How do I renew it? If you have a subscription (auto-renewing) membership, it will automatically charge your credit card on file 1 year after the date you purchased it. If my membership expires, will I need to register all over again? No, you won't need to register again (unless you've been away for several years and your old account was deleted). After your membership expires, you can login (IMPORTANT, be sure to login first), and then pay your membership dues to regain full access to all benefits. If your membership expired a couple years ago and you can't login, see the Login and Password FAQs above. (If that doesn't help, you can contact us for assistance.) I renewed my membership recently, and PayPal says I paid, but the website is still showing my membership as expired. If the email address for your FFSC account is different from your PayPal email address, it is very important to log in to your FFSC account BEFORE you renew your membership payment. Otherwise, your browser might automatically enter your PayPal email address as your login, thereby creating a new member account for you. In such cases, your existing FFSC account will still show your membership as expired. (If you think this happened to you, you can contact us for assistance.) My membership expired in 2025 and I don't see an option to renew it. What do I do? If your membership expired before November 3, 2025, you might not see a record of your expired membership. In that case, click Join FFSC in the Account menu to rejoin and pay your membership dues. How do I join the club? Visit the Join FFSC link in the Account menu, or go directly to the Choose Your Membership Plan page. From there, choose whether you want to subscribe to an auto-renewing plan, or whether you prefer to remember to pay each year. (The price is the same, and you can cancel your subscription before it renews.) I filled in all my info, but it won't let me submit the payment Your browser or security software might be mistaking the redirect to PayPal as an ad pop-up. Check your ad blocker's instructions for how to add an exception for this purchase. If you're using a VPN, it is masking your true IP address and location. Since banks and payment gateways (including PayPal) check your device's IP address to try to determine if it's really you, this means they often block connections from masked and public IP addresses. You can either temporarily turn off the VPN, or check its documentation for other solutions, or try another browser or device. Orders and Payments FAQ I paid for an upcoming event. Why don't I see it in my orders? Your Event payments are in the Tickets and RSVPs tab of your account. (We know that seems odd, but the website system we're using limits Product Orders to physical items (such as stickers and other merchandise), and it treats events and memberships separately. That's just how the underlying system currently works.) I paid for an FFSC membership. Why don't I see it in my orders? Your latest active membership info is in the FFSC Membership tab of your account. (Product Orders are only for stickers and other merchandise.) My Profile and Privacy How much of my profile is visible to other people? To preview what other users can see in your profile, login and then visit the Public Profile tab in your account. To show or hide specific details: (1) Go to the Account Info tab of your account. (2) Scroll down to Profile Privacy Settings. (3) Configure what's visible and what isn't by toggling the globe (public) and lock (private) icons next to each input field. I don't want any of my profile to be visible to other people. How do I make the whole thing private? (1) Go to the Account Info tab in your account. Scroll to the bottom. (2) Use the arrow to expand the Profile Privacy section. (3) Click "Make Profile Private". Click to enlarge My Account Pages In the Account area, I see navigation tabs, but they are blank. What should I do? Reload/refresh the page in your browser's navigation bar. If you don't know where the reload/refresh button is, you can use your browser's menu or keyboard shortcuts: Safari: In Safari's menu, choose View > Reload Page . (Or press Command+R) Chrome : In Chrome's menu, choose View > Reload This Page . (Or press Command+R on a Mac, or Ctrl+R on Windows). Microsoft Edge : Press Ctrl+R. A few more FAQs are available below for logged-in FFSC members. If you still need help, please visit the Contact FFSC page for more assistance options. FFSC Account FAQs Having trouble entering info?
