If you see him on campus be sure to congratulate him on his accomplishments both on and off campus via iNaturalist.

To date we've recorded 113 members of the Kingdom Fungi which includes 19 species of gilled mushrooms (Order Agaricales) aka the more typical ones people think of when they think mushroom. Keep catching those photos of campus fungi and adding them to our collections our collection has grown quite significantly this fall!

Did you mark your calendar? We have reached the milestone of 1,000 species having been documented on campus! How amazing is that - and it is all thanks to your efforts looking around campus and taking the time to observe. Great efforts to show how 'Deis does Citizen Science!
