One of the pleasures of a Foray is meeting like-minded people to share in the collection, identification and cataloguing of the mycota of Newfoundland Labrador. This pleasurable task sometimes leads to academic research on fungi using on our collection stored in the herbarium at the Grenfell Campus of Memorial University. Some of this research also involves members of Foray NL. This work enables Foray NL to attract national and international academics to be part of our annual Foray and to collaborate in investigative projects that often result in scholarly articles like the ones listed below.
