Reminder: October Meeting for WMS coming up 10/15 6:30 PM! Send in fungi to discuss!

As you will have perhaps heard from a few different messages and emails by now, but, just to say it again here: there is an upcoming Wisconsin Mycological Society meeting on Zoom this Thursday, 10/15, starting at 6:30 PM.

The presentation by Dr. Tom Volk, professor at UW- La Crosse, will be about folk lore and mycology, and starts at 7. It is titled, “What Old Wives and Old Husbands Have To Tell Us About Mushrooms”.

The 30 minutes prior will be about welcoming people and showing your iNaturalist finds! These can be ones already identified, or ones we will work to identify as a group. The mysteries and identification hunts were a really fun part of September's meeting, so we hope to have a few of those. If we have a lot to look at, and interest, we can definitely return to identifications and iNat discussion after the presentation.

You can send in your suggested observations to either of us, using the message feature on iNat. This is available only logging in on desktop version of the site, not on the mobile app! You could also put a link to an observation in a comment to this post, or send us messages to our emails, which should be available in emails you have gotten from WMS in the past.

The Zoom number to join is not being posted publicly, but you should get it through message or email. As ever, please let us know about any concerns, or barriers to accessing the meeting you may have.

Hope to see you there!

Mariah & Leah,
iNat project admins
