This year’s foray will explore the rich fungal diversity of the Finger Lakes region while honoring the contributions of women in the field. We’ll also highlight the intersection of mycology and entomology, inspired by the legacy of Samuel Ristich.


Our event will be hosted at Camp Comstock, a quaint Girl Scout camp on the shores of Cayuga Lake. With nearly two miles of waterfront, nearby scenic hiking trails, and a unique treetop cabin village, the location offers a rustic getaway in Tompkins County, NY.
