By documenting fungi, you’ll help scientists build a comprehensive record of fungal biodiversity across North America. Whether you’re a seasoned forager or a newbie, your contributions will support important research on these often-overlooked organisms. Grab your camera, explore nature, and help us track fungi diversity! 🍄
