FMS Mycoflora Project-Boundary
MYCOFLORA PROJECT
GET INVOLVED
The goal of this project is to collaborate with citizen naturalists & mycology enthusiasts of all levels to map the distribution and diversity of fungi & fungus-like organisms in the Central Valley & Sierra Nevada area. This region is historically understudied despite its fungal diversity. With your help, we can shed light on this uncharted area. You can find our project below.
iNaturalist.org: FMS-Mycoflora
We would love to partner with you to build this mycological compendium.
Here how you can collaborate with us and begin contributing to the field of Mycology as a citizen scientist:
Create an account with iNaturalist.
Submit observations. All “research grade” observations of Fungi & Lichen tagged in and around Fresno county will automatically by added into our Mycoflora project.
*Note: Step-by-step guide on creating observations and adding them into our iNaturalist project is attached below
Caution: When collecting wild fungi, never consume anything you find in nature without first consulting an expert. To help familiarize yourself with these species, an attached a list of edible and toxic fungi can be viewed and downloaded below.
