Mushroom Walk 11-14-2009, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

All photos taken today were taken using the Quantaray 70-300mm Tele-Macro lens. The Mushroom Walk was held in the Big Thicket National Preserve (BTNP) on Saturday, November 14, 2009. We left the Big Thicket Field Research Station (FRS) located in Saratoga, Texas s on the west side of FM 770 in the small town and it is marked with a brown, Park Service sign.

We went into the nearby Lance Rosier Unit of the BTNP, and collected and recorded species. This activity is part of the BTNP All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI). The collections will be displayed, identified, and dried for deposit in an herbarium. The mushroom walk will be lead by President David Lewis (http://www.lamar.edu/newsevents/cc/461_3243.htm), who is also the ATBI Taxonomic Working Group (TWIG) leader. Jay Justice, a mycologist from Arkansas, was also present for this event.
