iNaturalist Challenge #2: The Hydnum Project
Foray NL would like your help observing the Hydum species endemic to Newfoundland and Labrador. Please upload your Hydnum photos and detailed descriptions to our iNaturalist project.
If you have a microscope, we'd love to know the specimen's spore size, and the number of sterigmata on basidia.

Challenge #3: FINDS OF THE SEASON Photo Submission
Our series will close again this year with our "Finds of the Season" photo social. For this, we need your photos of your favourite finds this year -- was it an usual species, or a particularly beautiful photograph? Did you find something that you can't seem to ID, and want expert advice? Have you found something you think will stump our experts? Send us your best!
Submit photos to: ForayNLphotos@gmail.com Submission Deadline: October 1, 2021.
Please include your name, the location of the mushroom, and any notes or questions you have about it.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Never rely on an app such as iNaturalist to correctly identify potentially edible species for you. We recommend learning about mushroom identification from experienced foragers or knowledgeable experts in your community.
