About the Event
Out in the field, fungi identification doesn’t leave mush-room for guessing! During this immersive workshop, you’ll learn the basics of fungi, lichen, fern, and moss anatomy, identification, and their pivotal role in our ecosystems, all while using the iNaturalist app to make critical observations and be a community scientist!
All participants are asked to download the iNaturalist app before their workshop date and create a free account. iNaturalist will be a key tool we use during our BioBlitz!
