Good evening, friends,
It’s another atypical week at the MM offices as we were boots on the ground in Newport, VT yesterday for the total solar eclipse. We originally planned to go to Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks, but forecasted clouds pushed us (and half the population of the eastern US) farther north and east to a quaint New England town on the Canadian border. We were blessed with beautiful blue skies for the astronomical phenomenon and then chased that down with a ten hour trip home (twice the time it should normally take). I did enjoy how apocalyptic it all felt.
I was moved not just by the eclipse, but also by the tens of thousands of people that jovially came together to observe it. For a true recap with incredible photos from a real eclipser (after I saw the telescope and camera setups some folks had, I realized I was definitely more of a “casual”), I have to direct you to the best blogger in New York’s Capital region, https://chuckthewriter.blog/
I might be a totality chaser now, see you all in España in 2026.
Más Hongas de Ecuador
Now a subtle segue back to South America. There are a few mushrooms I still want to share before we broaden our perspective and look at all different forms of life. It’s a bit slow for fleshy fungi in the northeast right now, anyway, so all these little creatures can carry us into morel season (which might have already started :o).
All Walks of Life
Alright, we’re back to the regular scheduled programming next week, folks. Just in time for morel season… looks like one was already found in Central Park.
Keep your eyes peeled,
Aubrey
