View and Vote on our 2004 Photo Contest Entries JULY 2004 Jean O. Fahey- Editor Fungi Diversified
Our June speaker, Richard Progovitz, gave a fascinating look into the life and death of indoor molds. The dozen people who were there will attest to the energy level and enthusiasm with which the information was presented, which, like mold, spread throughout the audience. We will never opt for wall-to-wall carpeting again and probably boosted the sale of ‘20 Mule Team Borax’ exponentially. We certainly left much more knowledgeable and aware then when we arrived. Thank you, Richard for enlightening us to yet another fungal world. We hope to see you the July 11th for a Foray and the 19th for the "Viewmasters of Fungi" program.
MYCOPHAGY CORNER
Golden Chanterelle: Cantharellus cibarius The Chanterelle family includes some of the best known edible mushrooms. Most are either convex or vase-shaped. All lack true gills. Instead, as the mushroom develops, it produces spores on ridges, folds, or on a nearly smooth surface. Most Chanterelles grow on the ground in the summer in the Eastern U.S. The Golden Chanterelle is egg-yolk yellow with a wavy margin and yellow-orange, forked, thick-edged ridges descending the stalk. They have a fragrance similar to apricots, which is retained when cooked. The Chanterelle, also known as "Girolle" and "Pfifferling," is probably the most popular and prized edible wild mushroom in the world. Beware of confusing it with toxic look-alikes, however, particularly the poisonous Jack O’Lantern (Omphalotus olearius) which is orange, has true gills, grows on decaying wood and glows in the dark. Don’t forget to take your camera with you when you are mushroom hunting! Your photo could be the winner of our first ever Photo contest! Photos can be digital, slides, or regular 35mm film. Only three photos per person will be accepted and must be submitted to Bernie or Jean by October 1st. We have boxes of wax paper bags for sale for $2 for 60 bags. They are the best container for your fungal specimens! All Meetings are on the third Monday of the month at 7:30 pm. room 127 Illick Hall on the ESF campus of SU unless otherwise noted.
