NMMS Annual Foray
* 22-25 August 2o13
* Pagosa Springs, CO
. The NMMS Foray Committee thanks those who have already registered for
this year's gathering in Pagosa Springs.
There are only about 20 people signed up so far, so it's looking as
though this may be a very intimate Foray.
. The South San Juan Mountains have already received some of the nice
July rains, and we can hope for more in the next few weeks. This Foray will
provide an wonderful opportunity to visit southern Colorado and learn from
Mycologists Jay Justice and Clark Ovrebo.
. Registration Deadline is August 7th, which is less
than a week away, so if you plan to attend, it's time to reserve your room
in Pagosa and mail your check and reservation form.
* Foray Details, Lodging Information, and Registration Form are available
at MycoWest.net/Foray

relocate to a different planet seem to have been unfounded. The event will
occur again this year much as it has for the last three decades.

NMMS Field Trips
. After extensive Forest closures in June, the generous July rains prompted
folks
to head for the hills in search for all things fungal and fruiting. NMMS
had a couple of organized field trips during July and may have more in the
days and weeks ahead.
. NMMS Members can read about these past excursions and check for future
outings by logging into the NMMS Members Forum (www.newmexicomyco.org) and
selecting "Field Trips" from the top menu.
