This year's design is inspired by the fleeting presence of fungi. Appearing after rainfall, they reveal themselves as if by magic—much like the cyanotype printing process. The design uses this analog technique, combined with visual elements that echo impermanence and handmade artistry.

Juli Sasaki is a graphic designer, yogi, and devoted mycophile. Her fungi fascination began as a kid, foraging oyster mushrooms with grandma in Ohio. It became a passion for culinary & medicinal uses. At the NY Mycological Society, she found fungi a lens for everything—and never looked back.

In talk, we’ll go beyond species ID & learn broader characteristics of the subgenera & sections of the milk caps, + a history of how we got 2 these divisions. Learning higher order taxonomy is a gateway to useful information such as edibility.

Lactarius and Lactifluus, the milk caps, are notoriously hard to identify.

There were a number of fetching boletes, including the richly blue staining Gyroporus cyanescens and a fine specimen of Boletus separans. The unusual Russula earlei was there as well as Thelephora vialis.

Ilya took a beautiful photo of a Hydnellum spongiosipes the Velvet Tooth, which is prized amongst folks who dye their own wool for its color.
July 23, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Some other interesting finds, @trybuch.com found a Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa var. flava & Orbilia nemaspora, which Ethan Crenson did the microscopy to ID to species.

A deluge of rain hit northern NYC the Monday prior. A fruiting of Pachyella clypeata showed up in an area that was probably flooded by the storm. The bleeding Stereum gaussapatum was also nearby. There was one large smooth chanterelle and a “porcini”.

on hardwood that Sigrid Jakob found is going to interrogate to see what, if anything, can be learned about it.

Monika found a Chlorencoelia torta, which we scoped @trybuch.com house for this past Monday inperson ID session.
