It’s coming up to that time of year again where we can get out there and collect fungi for science! Join us in participating in a walk to collect specimens for the North American Mycoblitz, an amazing opportunity to obtain DNA barcode sequences from local specimens for just the cost of postage! Ludo and I will guide participants on how to upload photos to iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/), create voucher labels, and prepare specimens to be mailed in for sequencing. We encourage participants to download the iNaturalist app ahead of time if you are interested in contributing photographs or specimens to the mycoblitz project.

Details about the Mycoblitz project can be found at this page: https://mycota.com/continental-mycoblitz/ (scroll below sponsor for details on the process).

We will meet at the Millstream Trail Head at 10:00am on Aug 10th (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vFyLhYDVjYmzuJnq7). Trail may be steep (moderate / intermediate rating) in locations!
