A group of 30 people joined Allegheny Land Trust and WPMC to explore Sycamore Island and search for mushrooms. We were ferried over by the good ship Rachel Carson. Weather in the last week had been dry and there were not as many species as expected. There were still interesting finds and a number of species were identified that had not been previously recorded on the island.
Species list entered by Jim Tunney. Species identified by Jim Tunney and Richard Jacob.
