Fungi Identification & Education
Help identify fungi on the forays. This can be at in-person forays once they resume, or with our virtual forays on iNaturalist, which now have 5 years : 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
By posting and identifying fungi on iNaturalist & Mushroom Observer, you can learn by trial and error and in conversation with other fungi-identifiers. On Facebook, you can post on our page or in Wild Food Wisconsin or Mushroom Identification Group. One book we suggest that covers a wide range of fungi is the Mushrooms of Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada. Check out our other education resources & recommendations here. |
