Mushrooms of the Paul Smiths VIC

On 8 August 2012, mushroom expert Susan Hopkins led a walk on Paul Smiths VIC trails to identify different mushrooms that grow in the Adirondack Mountains. Our walk covered portions of the Heron Marsh Trail (from the VIC building to the floating bridge) and portions of the Silviculture Trail (from the floating bridge to the VIC building). Despite the fact that the weather prior to our walk had been quite dry, we found a great many mushrooms. Ms Hopkins identified 27 different mushrooms, most of them on the Heron Marsh Trail in mixed hardwood-conifer forest.
