Lots going on over at NAMA!
October 15, 2024Volunteers needed for community partnership opportunities!
October 22, 2024Stephen Russell at Mycota Lab is once again offering free DNA sequencing this summer. Specimens need to have been collected between October 18 and October 27.
The 2024 Continental Mycoblitz is open to anyone who is willing to make scientifically valuable collections of mushrooms – including photography, field notes, and submitting a dried specimen. Any individual or organization can submit their most unique/interesting/exciting collections to the project. Experts will examine each collection and will perform DNA sequencing on thousands of the specimens that are submitted.
If you’re interested in submitting a specimen, it will need an iNat observation with good photographs of the mushroom from multiple angles, a completed field data slip, and properly dried mushrooms.
You have the chance to make a significant contribution to our knowledge of fungi from North America by submitting specimens to this project.
