Sunnyside and Woodside neighborhood residents joined mycologist Gary Lincoff for a mushroom hunt in New Cavalry Cemetary in Queens on Sunday Jun 13th from 1-3pm. Thet say that cemeteries can be the best places to find peace, solitude… and mushrooms. We found out why and learned how to identify and forage for mushrooms in New York City with a group of experts, dabblers and mushroom enthusiasts! We met at the 52nd st station off the 7 train; the tour began at 1pm and was free and open to the public.

This event was part of the Queens Arts Express, an annual spring arts festival is packed with arts exhibitions, festive events, and live performances in public spaces throughout neighborhoods clustered along the 7 train route.

The MycoMap project is a collaboration between Strataspore, the Urban Landscape Lab, and Spatial Information Design Lab (www.spatialinformationdesignlab.org) at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Anne Yen Illustrator, and Networked Organisms and their Habitats.
