Field Notes

Notes:

This could be one of the rarest mushrooms in the world. Discovered in 1909 in an Atlantic White Cedar Swamp in NJ, it wasn't seen again until found in a cedar swamp in NH in 2005 by Bill Neill and my friend Larry Millman. (see the link for more info)
A few years ago Larry took me to see the fungi and today I went back and found at least 20 of them. Winter is the best time to access a cedar swamp, walking on the frozen snow and ice instead of slogging through a treacherous swamp in warm weather.
