O. Ceska - A Survey of Macrofungi on Observatory Hill: Spring 2012 and Winter 2012/2013
Thanks are due to Clyde Donnelly and to Kevin Ferris for financial assistance. Thanks are
also due to Rebecca Mersereau and the Garry Oak Ecosystem Recovery Team (GOERT) for
finding funds for the 2012/2013 survey and taking interest in Garry oak ecosystems on
Observatory Hill. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Feldman for his interest and fundraising for
the 2012/2013 survey, and for his editorial help with this report. We also thank anonymous
donors for financial assistance.
