Species list from Brady’s Run Park on 07/23/2016

Walk leader Richard Jacob. I don’t think there has been a mushroom walk at Brady’s Run Park before and the group of 20 or so members, new and old, explored a part of the park on a very warm Saturday morning. We started up a steep hill that on to a ridge path to a plateau at the top. We found quite a variety of species considering how dry and hot it has been. Not many specimens were found on the actual ridge path but we could see that the slopes were a very nice mushroom environment with oak and moss covered ground. Quite a few species were collected at the base of the slopes alongside a stream as this area was still quite damp.
