This weekend was our annual member's only Wynoochee #campout #foray!
In this photo, the group listening to Jon tell us the story of The Wild Man of the #Wynoochee. Still a total fire ban due to dry conditions so we had a propane fire pit. #mushroomhunting #mycology #washingtonstate #outdoors

There new mushroom species with a SSMC sequencing contribution. Sadie Hickey from SSMC found this mushroom while attending the Key Council meeting near Mt Adams in 2019. The mushroom was named in honor of Lorelei Norvell, an extremely well respected mycologist working much of her career in the PNW.
