Your goal:
Find any type of fungus around you and share it!

Steps:

  1. Go outside (yard, park, sidewalk, anywhere)
  2. Look for mushrooms, mold, or anything growing on wood/leaves
  3. Take a photo
  4. Post it in the Field Observations category

In your post, include:

  • Where you found it
  • What it looks like
  • What you think it might be (guessing is encouraged!)

Then come back here and link your post in the replies, let’s see what everyone discovers!
