and all-round FunGuy Erwin Karl for a Mushroom Walk and Species Survey!
10am - 3:30pm
Join us in the morning for an introductory mushroom walk as we explore the fungi we find in the forest of the preserve and the stories they tell us about the forest. We will explore their uses for people and other organisms in the forest.
Following a short lunch break we will focus on teaching about community science and how we can upload high-quality observations to INaturalist to contribute to the Fungal Diversity Survey (FunDiS) of North America.
