Winter foray to Jackson State Demonstration Forest.

Join FFSC for our annual forays to the Albion Field Station, located six miles south of Mendocino. The Mendocino Coast is a bountiful haven for fungal species in any season. The Albion I foray on first weekend in December  focuses on a wide range of fungi including boletes, chanterelles, candy caps and hedge-hogs.

The Albion Field Station is recently remodeled and now features heated private rooms (yes, with private baths) and a lovely meeting hall with commercial kitchen. The field station serves as our foray base and we utilize the kitchen for meals and our famous Saturday night potluck. The cabins are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and it is advisable to reserve a space early.

Bring bedding, towels, food for your meals and a dish to share at the Saturday potluck. Also bring raingear, footwear and layered clothing for all possible weather experiences, and, of course, your basket and collecting gear. If you’d like to carpool, send an email to that effect to ffsc@googlegroups.com for dispersal to the membership.

The foray cost is an exceptional bargain for the North Coast. Final cost is based on how many people attend but is not likely to exceed $60 for the weekend. Unless cancellation is made well in advance, the deposit is non-refundable.
