Ronnie, our Biology teacher, led an elective about mycology. Students collected and studied a variety of beautiful and interesting specimmens, and learned about the new science that shows how important mushrooms are to ecological communities.
Ronnie leads the students on a field trip into SAtewart State Forest
An amazing specimen!
Some mushroom species are associated with particular trees
And a hike in the forest on a sunny fall afternoon is the best reward for dutiful scholarship
