Howdy Mycophiles,

We are so happy to have had some rain before our upcoming foray for our Fungus Fair!

  • come to the foray (members only, so sign up at http://sdmyco.org/membership/ )
  • go foraging in a woody, wet area and pick some mushrooms
  • bring these to either the pre-day set up on Saturday (where you can help us set up for the fair from 4 – 8))

Holiday Celebration Potluck, December 5th!

Posted on by SD Myco
Howdy festive fungi folk!
Here’s the information for our
Holiday Celebration Potluck
December 5, 2022
6:30 – 8:30pm

We invite you to bring a delicious dish to share! It does not have to include mushrooms, but those are always a hit! You may also bring store bought if you prefer.

We will have a card to fill out in advance for the ingredients list. This is useful for those that may have allergies or dietary restrictions. ***If you are using wild/foraged mushrooms, please note that also!***

We ask that you bring your own reusable cup/bowl/plate and utensils, since we are environmental stewards. Let’s help promote and save the environment by using less plastic!

Please note that we do not have kitchen access, but there will be outlets for keeping food warm with crock pots.

Gobble gobble,
SDMYCO

Dylan Enright – Monday monthly meeting – Elections upcoming!!

Posted on by SD Myco

Hello Myco Fam!!

Hope you’ve enjoyed your summer “break”!

Our official season kicks off again this Monday at 7pm with a special lecture::::

Dylan Enright is a 5th year microbiology Ph.D. candidate and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in the Glassman Lab at University of California Riverside. His research explores the effect that catastrophic wildfires (ie. “Mega-fires”) have on soil bacteria and fungi. His work includes DNA sequencing based analysis of soil microbial communities in addition to culturing fire adapted fungi and bacteria in the lab for microbial trait-based experiments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ELECTIONS UPCOMING!!

Also, that time of the year is coming up when we, as myco enthusiasts, would like to help support our fungtastic organization by participating all things SDMYCO related, such as choosing speakers and putting these and other events together, or whatever the assignment may entail and where we can often find a few of us geeking out on mushroom anythings. There are several positions as indicated in the flyer below. The more hands we have, the easier it is on everyone and the more we are able to do. If you like and appreciate what we have going on and would like to see it continue, please consider filling one of the positions in our SDMYCO Board of Directors!!!

Thank you in advance and if interested, please apply here: https://forms.gle/nFZKQMYZJYzaTLUw6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember to check out our social media. There’s plenty of great things coming this new season!!!

Keep on rain dancing and can’t wait to see you this Monday!!

Mush love,

SDMYCO
