Pathways to Fungi Conservation

  • Rhode Island Natural History Survey Building 1 East Farm Road South Kingstown, RI, 02881 United States (map)

Join RIMYCOS Conservation Committee for a short presentation and participatory workshop to learn how to document the mushrooms you encounter.

Fungi, like other plants and animals, are facing threats of extinction due to habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. Because fungi spend most of their lives hidden from view, scientists and conservationists need help to have a better, more complete picture of what fungi live here, and which are rare.

Fungi need OUR help!

At this workshop we will:

  • Explore different methods for documenting and identifing mushrooms.

  • Engage in open discussions about the importance of fungal conservation.

  • Connect with fellow nature enthusiasts

  • PIZZA!

All ages and skill levels welcome to attend.
