You will be amazed by the diversity of fungi found in Fairbanks when you visit the Fungi display tables, 11 am - 4 pm. On display are all the mushrooms found in Fairbanks area. Display mushrooms were identified by mycologists. See how collections are sorted by mushroom shape (gilled, boletes, polypores, toothed fungi, clubs & corals, puffballs, cup fungi, & other).  Bring in a mushroom to compare with the collection or to add to the collection.  (Bonus points if you label it with the date, location, and habitat where you collected it, and add a photo of it to iNaturalist.org).

Learn the techniques used to successfully identify mushrooms, and note the edible and poisonous mushrooms on display.  Join us under the pavilion at the mushroom collection display tables for this talk.
