Welcome to an expedition into the world of fungi.

In late summer/early fall of 2006, I foraged for mushrooms for the first time. Since then, foraging, exploring, and learning about wild mushrooms, has become a passionate family hobby.

I am currently a member of RAMA, the Rochester Area Mycological Association, in Rochester, New York; and am fortunate enough to have been chosen as the RAMA Newsletter editor. I have also joined the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club, and the Susquehanna Valley Mycological Society in Binghamton, NY.

Additionally, I am the developer and author of
