Even though the meeting night was the same
day and time as the final presidential debate we had a great turnout of enthusiastic 'shroomers who brought many interesting (and in one case particularly smelly) specimens. Richard Glass gave a slide presentation and discussion on
Mushroom Photography, the benefits, techniques, and equipment. If you would like a copy of the presentation slides, contact
