Today is the fifth day (of 11) of the Mycoblitz. I went out last week at the start of the blitz, but Wisconsin had plunged so far back into extreme drought territory that I'd only found one fresh mushroom. Over the weekend I visited family, and they were willing to hike with me both days I was visiting. It's not that I have a compulsion to catalogue species except that I have a compulsion to catalogue species. Over the weekend I found 20 species (I won't post most of the pictures here because I only had my cell phone camera). Today southern Wisconsin is getting a lot of rain, so I have a feeling this week is going to be consumed by mushroom hunting.

Pictured: We found a bunch of waxy caps, which I haven't seen in many years and was delighted to be reunited with.

I know the irony of having a mushroom blog when I almost never post mushrooms but thats bc i live in drought-ridden texas and I haven’t seen a single mushroom all year. Anyway, from October 20-27, 2019 there will be a bioblitz (an intense period of biological surveying in an attempt to record the living species within a designated area) focusing on macrofungi in North America. 

The purpose of this is to study and identify species of fungi and increase the number of herbarium specimens. Anyone in the USA, Canada and Mexico can contribute, and you don’t have to be any kind of biologist! You can do something as simple as take a picture of a mushroom and submit it to their Inaturalist project, or you could even send in dried specimens to (possibly) get DNA sequenced! The likelihood new species being discovered due to this bioblitz is very high.

Click the link above to learn more about how to participate if you’re interested.

ive only found like 4 mushrooms while hunting for the continental mycoblitz  but i managed to find some on my favorites including this Xylaria species, probably Xylaria polymorpha, also known as dead man’s fingers.

the only thing im unsure about is the fact that most photos of Xylaria polymorpha show them as being fairly small, but these things are uhhhh huge so ill be sending them in to hopefully be dna sequenced

Ace week and the continental mycoblitz both start on the same day (20th)

What a hilarious coincidence!

Also, the start of reading week

Everything seems to be ligning up real nice for me 🍄

2023 Continental Mycoblitz

Signal boosting the Summer Continental (North American) Mycoblitz from Aug 11-20, 2023. This is a great way to contribute to science and further our understanding of mycological diversity. From their website:

"It is a part of our effort to document all of the macrofungi that exist in North America. To participate just review the requirements below, post your observations to the iNaturalist project during the foray week, and submit your ten (10) most interesting collections to our processing facilities. Thousands of specimens from the event will be selected for DNA sequencing. Your most interesting finds can help us to understand the mushrooms of North America."

the continental mycoblitz project isnt posting so i messaged the admin

in the meantime this is what i found so far... any idea what it is? im caught between puffball and shelf fungi lol

it has a woody smell i like it

also should i collect this as a specimen for them y/n
