In the late 1980's the WMS held several annual Labor day weekend forays at the Ford Forestry Center near L'anse Michigan.

As you can see the fungi were quite abundant in those years. Some of the members pictured are (from left to right) Alan Parker, Ed Melkers, Fred Kluhsman, John Steinke and Tula Erskine.
