Narrative

Most fungi are parasites on plants. Identification of many fungi is very difficult because their form and color is dependent on local conditions. One should not eat wild collected mushrooms as many edible species have poisonous look-alikes. Although we believe many of the species we show in this group are correctly identified, we are also aware of instances where we doubt the identification. We include these species to show the diversity of life, as opposed to a method of precise species identification.
