FOR DIRECTIONS TO THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS, PLEASE FOLLOW THE "DIRECTIONS' BUTTON ABOVE

To maximize the probability for great forays for all, MHMA humbly requests that all mushroom pluckers refrain from picking in scheduled foray locations at least 10 days prior to the event

June 22 - Hurley Rail Trail Sunday, 9am
                A marvelous 400 acre parcel with a wide variety of  habitat.
                Usually a treasure trove of fungal species.   Barbara Plume  leader.        518-456-5084

July 19th   Saturday 9 am, Ashokan Resevoir, Olivebridge. We had a good walk last year and will be looking for Chanterelles (and other mushrooms as well)

July 27 - Vernooykill State Forest, Sunday, 10am,  Trail's End, NY.
   This is a sweet location with a steep  climb up to the falls (not for the weak of heart!)
Nice mountain water for swimming after a hot climb up the hill and a nice  location for a picnic lunch before heading back down... RSVP Barbara Plume, leader    518-456-5084

September 13th  Saturday 9 am, Stefan Lisowski's Camp Warui, Rosendale, NY
A new location rich in mushrooms

Sept. 21 - Black Rock Forest, Cornwall, 10 am NY
            With the right weather, this can be a near perfect location   Barbara Plume, leader    518-456-5084

Sept 27            Sat. 9am, Morse  Estate, Locust Grove, Poughkeepsie NY -
This is an amazing site in and of  itself! The long shoreline with the Hudson lends this property a  unique microclimate, supporting all kinds of lovely wildlife  and a gorgeous horticultural area. Add the fact that frequently we find more Hen-of-the-Woods here than we can carry out and  it becomes a sheer delight. This walk is the only time in the entire year  that the Morse Estate will allow the picking and removal of  mushrooms from the area.
