Pocomoke / Eastern Shore

Pocomoke River SF and the Delmarva Eastern Shore — bald cypress swamp, loblolly pine flatwoods, and bottomland hardwood along the Pocomoke River. Different ecology than the Appalachian Catoctin side of the state. Chanterelles, chicken-of-the-woods, oyster, and hen-of-the-woods after Atlantic moisture systems; unique cypress-tupelo swamp fungi in the bottomlands.
