One of the highlights of this year has been the UV Night Foray I planned for the WVMS Funga Study group. Our group gathered at dusk at the trailhead to hike down a trail and wait for dark. It is only after dark that our adventure began and we lit up the forest in Technicolor wonder.

Oh the swarms of mosquitoes. It was almost too much to bear as I tried to photograph the Lycogala epidenrum https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/81978648 , so I paused to spray on some mosquito repellant that Andrew brought from the car. After making sure all the exposed bits were covered, I went back to the L. epidenrum and showed Andrew how they pop!
