# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Citizen Science Mushroom ID Workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 08 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Back by popular demand! Join Rej (amateur mycology enthusiast) for a FREE workshop where we discuss techniques for identifying mushrooms and practice what we learn in the field. Techniques covered will include observing the mushroom’s physical characteristics and environment, its reaction to UV light and chemical reagents, and if all else fails, DNA sequencing. Starting with a walk through the woods behind the Botany Barn, we will discuss what details to pay attention to in the field and how to take good photos for identification purposes. Especially interesting or tough to identify mushrooms will be collected to examine more closely back at the Botany Barn after the walk. We will also go over how to submit mushrooms for DNA sequencing as part of Mycota Labs’ 2026 summer continental mycoblitz (more information about Mycota Labs can be found here: https://mycota.com/continental-mycoblitz/). Voucher slips for submissions will be provided. An iNaturalist account is required for those interested in sending their collections for DNA sequencing. 

Since we will be walking through field and forest, please dress accordingly. Trail is not difficult, but ground is uneven and sometimes muddy in certain areas.
