What this site says and does not say
- Identification is for science and for the record. This site gives no guidance on any other use of any mushroom.
- Identifications published in Records are verified before they appear, and each shows what it rests on.
- No advertising, no trackers, no accounts for now. Pages are plain files.
What is coming
Volunteer sign-up and event scheduling, numbered specimen stickers and check-in at collecting days, a library of short guides, an equipment and supplies list with verdicts, and a progress dashboard by county. In that order, as participation grows.
If you suspect a mushroom poisoning: call US Poison Control, 1-800-222-1222, or your nearest emergency room.
