Species list from Chatham University Eden Hall Campus on 09/03/2016

This walk took place at the beautiful Eden Hall Campus of Chatham University. The campus hosts the Falk School of Sustainability and acts as a classroom for sustainable technologies. We took a walk into an oak forest that is part of the campus. First stop was the shiitake mushroom logs growing area where the university develops best practices for shiitake cultivation. The woods them selves were fairly dry but the recent rains meant there were plenty of different species to be found. There were a number of different chanterelle species, a good selection of Amanitas and a wide variety of other larger species. One of the rare finds was Russula earlei. Russula earlei has a waxy cap and thick widely spaced gills that make you think it might be a Hygrophorus. There was also a Baorangia bicolor variant that had a thin pore layer but blued quickly. There was no smell of curry or any other distinguishing odor. It remains unnamed.
