Eleven people showed up for the first ever NYMS walk in Kissena Park. A mild day after a cold, cold week. We turned up some interesting fungi: Rhytidhysteron rufulum, which had been found only once before in NYC (February 2016 in High Rock Park, Staten Island, found by Hiromi); and a couple of firsts for the city – the fantastically fragrant Trametes suaveolens, growing on a dead cottonwood tree; Hypoxylon perforatum; the slime mold Dictydiaethalium plumbeum.
