Jim Schulte, Biology Professor at Clarkson University, will lead a survey of moth diversity at the ICNC. We'll set up a blacklight and discuss the major features of the many different groups of moths we may see. Weather permitting.

Fungi are fickle. We only find mushroom fruiting bodies when the weather cooperates. Mosses are more constant. During this class we will learn the basics of moss and mushroom identification. We will walk slowly through the woods, but we will walk so come prepared with appropriate shoes and coats. Meet at the main entrance. Dr. Karl McKnight is a co-author of the recently published book Common Mosses of the Northeast and Appalachians.
