Notes:
Purposes of this trip were to clarify the Study Plot locations &
boundries and to define the procedures for time spent in and out of the
field.
The weather was remarkably pleasant: temps in the 70's or maybe low
80's.
Morchella specimens were sparse at best. One place to look is beneath
the straw thrown down for erosion control following the CG Fire (the straw is
retaining some moisture). No suggestions for habitat or elevation.
Remember! Mushrooming on Bandelier land is Prohibited.
