We need your help!

This month 9 observers documented 128 fungi, with a total of 91 unique species. By taking a picture of the mushrooms you find and sharing it to our iNaturalist project you can help to increase knowledge of Rhode Islands Fungal Diversity.

We need the help of as many people, in as many unique locations as possible!

If your are not sure how to get started- send us a message we are happy to guide you!!!

*Large and charismatic species, first time finds, user preference and location bias affect which species are documented. This data does NOT reflect which species are commonly found in nature.

November

The month of November was a warm one this year, with the average daily temperature for Rhode Island at 68 degrees- this is 21 degrees higher than normal! We received .09 inches of total rainfall. We experienced an unusually windy month. Average winds at 30mph and gusts 47mph, made it less than inspiring for many species of fungi.
