Big turnout for today’s Black Friday Mushroom Walk to benefit Camp Guyasuta. We had 24 people, from non-members to WPMC Mycologists. There was quite a freeze on the Thursday and many of the larger mushrooms that we found were frozen solid. There was a wide slection of crust and polypore mushrooms as long as the common late fall edible mushrooms.
