REPORT OF NEWFOUNDLAND FORAY & LABRADOR September 2-5, 2005 Killdevil Lodge Gros Morne September 6-9, 2005 Labrador Straits Labrador An organized event of the Humber Natural History Society <http://www.hnhs.ca/> SPONSORS: The Department of Environment, & Conservation Western Newfoundland Model Forest Gros Morne Cooperating Association Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, MUN Andrus Voitk Seaview Restaurant & Cabins Altius Minerals Corporation Gros Morne National Park In memoriam Our hearts go out to Faye Murrin and Judy May, both of whom lost their husbands. Faye is one of only two professional mycologists in the province and has been an enthusiastic member of our faculty from the beginning. She was in transit from the Gros Morne to the Labrador foray September 5, 2005, when she was notified that her husband, Joe, died suddenly at home. Judy and Barry May have been close personal friends and strong supporters of the foray, involved in its organization from the outset. Barry died suddenly while at a medical meeting in Montreal just as this report was finished. The Report is dedicated to his memory. May they both rest in peace.

All registrants received a handsome registration package from the Department. Small teams, under expert leadership, went forth into selected trails, foraging for mushrooms. Nature had co- operated, for the woods were bursting with fungi and the weather was pleasantly sunny in both locales. Killdevil obliged, as always, with the command perform- ance of a local bull moose in the evenings, giving visitors plenty of opportunity for extemporaneous portrait photog- raphy. As has become our custom, foragers were very diligent This year’s Foray was a double event, with a Gros Morne Foray over Labour Day week-end, Sept 2-5, at Killdevil Lodge and a Labrador Foray Sept 6-9 along the Labrador Straits.
