October 22nd Foray Cancelled due to forecasted high winds
The wagon-master has requested that Saturday October 22nd Foray be cancelled due to forecasted high winds. Read her message below:
– it is getting windy here today on Camano Island, and they are forecasting stronger winds for tomorrow as well. I feel that it may be unsafe for me to lead the foray tomorrow as planned. The area is on top of a hill, and prone to old trees crashing down on the trails.
I would not suggest it because of rain, but the winds can be dangerous. There are not too many mushrooms here this year anyhow – the season started very early and seems to be pretty much over for chanterelles. There as some slippery jacks up there now, but mostly full of worms.

Saturday, May 7th Foray Decision – "Should I GO?"
May 7th Foray is still on. The question is if it makes sense to come and hunt? Our spring hunting season is late by week or two. We have seen some morels just breaking ground in few spots. So if you decide to come for an outing expect to find a few, if you are in the right spot. Sam, the wagon-master will be at the meeting spot specified in the newsletter. Mosquito’s are not out yet, some wildflowers are blooming, so it is not all bad. Decision is yours if you want to make the trip.
Note from Taylor Lockwood
This fall I will release the Mushroom Identification Trilogy in a wide screen version. There are a limited quantity of standard definition (old TV format) DVDs still available for purchase so I’m offering a “Teacher’s Special” for the MIT.
This is a great opportunity to gift the knowledge and passion of mushrooming — for only $5 including postage. Anyone can purchase the DVD, but the “mail to” address must be a school.
For the “Teacher’s Special” go to:
http://www.kingdomoffungi.com/ and click on “Teacher’s Special” –Stock is limited.
Thanks for your support of “my mission”!
