Tips when sending in photos for identification:
Take a clear image of the mushroom undisturbed in its natural habitat.
Take a close-up photo of the spore-bearing surface (typically the underside).
Take a photo of the entire mushroom, ensuring the base is visible.
Take a clear image of the mushroom cap.
Take a clear cross-sectional image of the mushroom (cut it in half).
Take notes on any staining or bruising that occurs when the mushroom is damaged and include that information with your submission.
Did you upload your observation to iNaturalist.org?
Every observation can contribute to biodiversity science, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard mushroom. They share your findings with scientific data repositories like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use your data. All you have to do is OBSERVE.
