22 enthusiastic people braved the somewhat confusing trails at Dead Man’s Hollow on Saturday morning. After some shortcuts and loops we all made it out safely with many mushrooms to identify. 30 species were ID’d by Jared White, best find of the day was a single Isaria tenuipes, good eyes on that one! We also found Xylaria polymorpha, the “Dead Man’s Fingers” of Dead Man’s hollow.
