Name *
Email *
Phone number *
iNat username *
Mushroom Observer username (if applicable) *
Street address of residence *
City of residence *
State of residence *
County of residence *
Zip code of residence *
How many days per week do you typically hunt mushrooms? *
Do you have experience collecting and drying mushrooms?
 *
Approximately how many specimens did you document and save for vouchering within the last 12 months?
 *
Do you currently hold any permits for collecting fungi on state owned lands? Yes/No, if yes then please elaborate *
Do you consider yourself a mushroom photographer? *
Do you already own a dehydrator, capable of dehydrating mushrooms until they are cracker-dry? *
Would you be willing to collect soil samples from your locality for eDNA analysis? This would take about a couple of hours (including drying and shipping prep) and would be required a few times each year. Because a single soil sample may outline 1,000 species of fungi, this would be beneficial for the project. But it is by no means a requirement, and we are just as happy to accept macrofungi only.
 *
Are you willing to mail in your own specimens or would you need assistance with postage costs?
 *
What is your motivation for collecting macrofungi?
 *
Is there anything else we should know about you before the start of this project? 

Our PI Stephen Russell wants to thank you for your support!! We appreciate your contributions to community science and The MycoMap Network!
