In this, our sixth year, we studied mainly polypores and some other wood inhabiting fungi. We spent part of two workshop sessions going out in the field (into the woods) to see what we could find. As you can see from this list compiled by our mentor, Gary Lincoff, there is plenty of fungal activity out there, even at the end of winter!
