    We enjoyed a Mushroom walk with Rochester Area Mycological Association (RAMA) fun guy, Carl Wolf on a wet Saturday morning.  Carl helped us find and identify mushrooms and other fungi at Onanda Park on West Lake Road in the town of Canandaigua.  Birds nest was discovered at the entry to the path and we found mushrooms that Carl had not seen before.
