Join the New York Mycological Society on a campus walk to observe, identify and document the surprising diversity of mushrooms hidden in plain sight all around us. Look closely and see what you can find! Magnifying handlenses will be loaned to attendees. In case of inclement weather, the event will take place indoors as a fun and informative introduction to mycology. Beginners and all ages are welcome! Walk led by Ethan Crenson, mycologist and President of NYMS; Co-Leaders: Maya Han and Maren Fossi.
