John assisted Don, who was dean of the science department at Simon’s Rock College, with his mycology courses for 5 years. John has attended many Northeast forays with large groups, i.e. the Northeast Mycological Federation and Connecticut Westchester Mycological Forays. where collections of 400 – 600 species are not uncommon. He leads BMS walks every Sunday morning at 10:00 unless away.
