High Rock Park - Feb 5, 2023

A lovely walk with temperatures starting in the high 30s and getting into the mid to upper 40s. Not a great deal of rain in the week before, but a decent number of fungi showed up. One odd find, made by Misha Zitser, is what looks to me like Fracchiaea callista found on a dead Carpinus branch. It's a tiny black dot in a brown subiculum. It's an ascomycete, but it is polysporous —with 32 spores in each ascus. About 16 people attending for a 3 hour walk. ~74 species
