Joint Ohio Mushroom Society (OMS)
and
Ohio Moss and Lichen Association (OMLA) Foray
(June 10)

For this event, OMLA has partnered with the OMS and the Cleveland Metro Parks for a great day of mushroom, lichen, and bryophyte hunting as well as a great educational experience. This foray will be taking place at the Trailside Program Center in Brecksville, Ohio on Saturday, June 10th from 12:30 pm to 3:15 pm. There will also be an hour-long educational session afterword from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm where specimens collected during the foray will be set on display for inspection. The address of the program center where we will be meeting is 9000 Chippewa Creek Drive, Brecksville, Ohio 44141.

This will be a great opportunity to collaborate with other likeminded naturalists as well as for surveying in the Lake Erie-Allegheny Plateau region. We will be exploring the immediate area around the Trailside Program Center which holds a wide variety of habitats.

Because of the number of organizations involved, participation from each association will be limited to 15 people. Please contact Tomás Curtis at his email (tcurti12 at kent.edu) to reserve a spot or for any other inquiries you may have.
