Whistle While You WalkWhen in the woods, it is preferable to stay in small groups and be sure to return to the bus on time for the return trip. The bus driver will sound the horn 20 minutes and 10 minutes before the return departure.Should you find yourself out sight of your companions give a single blast on your whistle to re-establish contact. A single blast in response should get you back to the group. Two blasts will indicate that you are lost. Use three blasts only if you are in distress!So, if you hear such whistle signals answer with a single blast to provide bearing for the separated forayer. If you get lost in the forest, the bus will leave without you but the walk leader will stay behind to await your return. You will be charged at a rate of $1 per mile, roundtrip. Please try to avoid this situation!

Ticks, Poison Ivy, Snakes and BearsPlease take necessary precautions to avoid contact with these creatures. Tuck pants into socks, shirts into pants and use bug repellant. Be sure to look before you pick to avoid plunging your hand into a thicket of Poison Ivy. And should you encounter a snake or a bear, move slowly away.

Mushroom Collection ProtocolInclude enough specimens in your collection to show the stages of development of the mushroom species. Utilize the voucher slip for field notes. This will enhances the process of identification. Take care to bring them back in good condition. Collections should be brought to the sorting area in the display room, placed on the table designated for your walk number, and on the paper container together with a completed voucher slip.

Best Mushroom Collecting AwardsOn Friday and Saturday evenings awards will be given to five forayers for the best picks of the day. So be sure to carefully identify yourself on the voucher slips with your collections.

During his graduate study of Agaricus, under the mentorship of Harry Thiers at San Francisco State University, he identified Agaricus californicus, a species that had vanished from the literature for the better part of the 20th century. In 1989 he was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he worked with Ian Ross. A postdoctoral fellowship with James Anderson and Paul Horgen at the University of Toronto, Erindale, focused on gene mapping, population biology and germ plasm resource assessment in wild and cultivated Agaricus bisporus, the “Button Mushroom.” Dr. Kerrigan has held the position of Director of Research, U.S.A., with Sylvan, Inc., the world’s leading producer of cultivated mushroom spawn, since 1993. His 45 years of study of the diversity of wild species of Agaricus informs his new book on the species.
