Fall is the Very Best of Times for Minnesota Mushroomers.
I believe that we can look forward to at least two more full months of good mushroom hunting this year, so be sure and attend the remaining forays and store up your edible finds for the long Minnesota winter. For the December 8th Monday evening meeting we have planned a program with a winter theme to help get us into the Christmas holiday shopping spirit, so be sure and mark that meeting date on your calendar.
