After hikers collected mushrooms all around the tree farm, experts identified most of the mushrooms and mentioned which ones were poisonous, which appeared only in the fall, and which were unusual to the Eastern US.

The ROCHESTER AREA MYCOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION  (RAMA) annual gala, gourmet dinner will be held February 6^th.  A Saturday evening of mycophagal delights will complement the camaraderie.

RAMA Members and guests will commence with our revelries at THE CASTLE   around 5:30pm with hors d’oeuvres. We will plan to dine about 6:30pm .

Please bring a place setting, the beverage or  wine with which  you wish to complement  the grand buffet of fungally inspired dishes which we are eager to create and share from the fungi we have collected this past summer- but do not be deterred from coming if you do not have  a  mushroom casserole, because there is always  need for desserts, cheese and crackers,  vegetables and salads!

The Castle is located on the corner of Mt Hope Ave and Reservoir Ave ( 5 Castle Park) in Rochester.

One final suggestion: remember the castle floors can be cold, so slippers are recommended.

Please contact Gene to join his caravan from Wayland and Springwater.  Come and enjoy a wonderful RAMA tradition!
