Adventures of a Mycohobo
Ever wonder what mushrooms occur in the jungles of tropical Africa and South America, or the dripping, moss-covered Antarctic Beech forests of New Zealand, or across North America? We will take a photo safari of some of the places I have been working, and highlight my favorite mushrooms and ecosystems.
