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:

Thanks for your support of "my mission"!
