Van Cortlandt Park - May 4, 2024

A ~3 hour walk with ~20 people attending. No rain in the last seven days. Exceptional work by Andrew Cannon. A whole new fungal group has been added with the discovery of a “false rust”, a Chytrid called Synchytrium taraxaci. Not to be outdone, Wilton Rao has added a new to city lichen: Candelariella aurella.
