This is an ongoing list of fungi I've found growing on Speckled Alder (Alnus incana) in my wetland in central Ontario. Alders are lanky shrub-trees that don't mind getting their feet wet. Since I have no hip waders and the swamp, when flooded, is full of leeches, my primary collecting season is mid- to late winter when water is more solid.
