Also would love ideas on the granules on the cap. Not snot, not bugs, but I vaguely remember seeing something that it could have been…maybe another fungus? I should have written it down lmao

      Sending it off through an ongoing, year-long MycoMap project in my province.

      I also participate in the continental mycoblitzes through the same lab (Mycota), those are NA-wide but limited to 10 submissions over the course of a week. They do them about 3 times per year, summer, fall, winter.

        FYI, Mycota’s mycoblitz no longer has a limit on submissions. That said, none of my submissions have made it through the queue yet.

          That’s great to hear, a person could do a lot of damage in a week of collecting. Have you considered volunteering to validate sequences for the mycoblitzes? I keep meaning to sit down and figure it out, but I’m always run off my feet this time of year.

        That is interesting. I have some weird gymnopilus that I does not fit cleanly into a species(I am probably missing something honestly), I will have to look into that program to finally find out. Thanks for passing that along.
