Next NEMF Foray: 2013 NEMF Samuel Ristich Foray NEMF 2013 - by Raymond Archambault Cercle des Mycologues de Montreal will once again host the Northeast Mycological Federation Sam Ristich Annual Foray. This time we will be going to Rimouski, the south side of the Saint Lawrence River, at the University of Quebec. Rimouski is about 680 miles, or twelve hour drive from the north of New York, NY. While a pre-foray day will take place one day ahead (Tuesday), the official foray will be from August 7 – 10 (Wednesday to Saturday) 2013. Rimouski Foray is packed with special activities, for example, picking mushrooms in the north shore. We will cross the Saint Lawrence by ferry, and hopefully, we will see whales if we are lucky. Because commercial picking is widespread in this area, commercial picker organizations may send representatives to explain their perspectives in our bilingual presentations. In addition to our familiar experts from past forays, there will be experts from Quebec and Europe. Similar to the past joint CMM/NEMF forays, we make sure that events will be in both French and English. Requirements for crossing the national border have been changed since the last Quebec foray. Citizens of the United States MUST show either a passport or a pass card at the border. If not, entry into Canada will be denied. Remember, the application takes at least six weeks. For the foray, get your valid passport in June 2013 the latest. Applications and related information are generally available at the post office or other federal offices, and should be available on-line. We wish our American friends the best of luck and see you all at the Rimouski. What is also decided: Regular Foray full registration will be $300.00. Regular plus pre-foray day: $380.00. Information and the Registration Form may be found at: http://www.mycomontreal.qc.ca/actualit.htm The foray is named in honor of the late mushroom guru Samuel Ristich.
