This hike coincides with a North American-wide Mycoblitz. Anyone who wants to participate can have iNaturalist downloaded to their phone.

What is a MycoBlitz? You may have heard of a “BioBlitz” – an intense, and usually time limited survey of all of the organisms living in a given geographic area. A MycoBlitz is a similar survey, but with the focus solely on fungi. Participants work to catalog as many species as they can from the survey area, during the survey time period.
