Not so fun fact: the endangered species act **doesn't include fungi** because they thought fungi were plants back in 1973. The Philly Mycology club as land stewardship advocates are looking to change that, working on auditing 200 year old specimens with the herbarium at the Academy of Natural Sciences to see which fungi still exist, collaboration with the state conservation mycologist, and collecting specimens for sequencing with a research permit from the DCNR. The Fungal Diversity Survey is also a great initiative being awareness to rare fungi who need their habitats protected!
I miss mushrooms, I know there are winter mushrooms too, but I have trouble finding any.
