The Fungi of Fitzgerald Lake
September 19 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join Peter Russell of the Pioneer Valley Mycological Association for another in his walks examining the fungi found in the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area. This walk will consider the natural history of the fungi that grow in the FLCA, in particular their different types of feeding strategies and substrates, and their associations with the different species of trees. Peter is at work on an illustrated book on the fungi he has found and photographed at Fitzgerald Lake.
