High Rock Park - Aug 9, 2026

In High Rock Park in Staten Island, we found a great abundance and diversity of boletes, Cortinarius, Entoloma, Russula and Lactarius and much else besides which covered two whole tables. Much work to be done on identifying everything - a good problem to have. A ~5.5 hr. walk with ~16 people attending.
