Identification for different mushrooms is made easier by using multiple access keys that work on a diversity of characters.

Participants who have access and landholders permission to collect mushrooms, may bring 1-3 mushrooms to the workshop: fresh mushrooms no more than 36 hours old and kept cool in containers. Please take images of mushroom characteristics and habitat before you collect them to help with identification.
