Located in the heart of the Adirondacks, Paul Smiths College hosts the very active Adirondack Mushroom Club which sponsors its own bi-annual foray every other year. NAMA forays occur across the country and this year we are fortunate in having it return to the Northeast after a 12-year absence. Paul Smiths College, the ADK Club and NAMA bring you one of the finest weekends of mushroom madness in the country! Rick Van de Poll will be giving two presentations and will help in the ID and sorting areas. Over 500 species are known to be found at these forays and each are vouchered and photographed for future reference and use. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to attend a NAMA foray in our own region!

Find out moreThe NLRA regularly hosts a variety of natural history workshops and is offering this classic tour of their Grey Rocks property at a time when mushroom diversity is usually at its peak. There are ample floodplain and lakeshore forests about to wander through, plus a local town beach to cool off in afterward if it's hot. Feel free to bring your own canoe or kayak to enjoy the water trail before or after the foray.
Find out moreJoin the Dannis Family for another NRCS and North Country Council-sponsored foray through some spectacular forests in Dalton. The views alone are breath-taking, not to mention the diversity of old growth forests and ridgeline habitats. We will mostly be outside so be prepared for rain as necessary! Foray collections will be discussed around tables afterward, where poisonous will be separated from edible, and medicinal will be highlighted in a ‘table talk.’ Register at carolyn.mcquiston@nh.nacdnet.net
