From Frost to Fungi: The Secrets of Snowbank Mushrooms
With Dr. Amy Honan
Mycena overholstii
As the snowbanks recede after a long winter, some of the first stirring signs of life are fungi. Come explore the magical world of these emerging mushrooms, just waking up after their winter hibernations. We’ll look at the diversity of fungi that can be found along snowbanks. As an added bonus, you’ll get a first look at the mushrooms included in the Rocky Mountain Rare Fungi Challenge. Several species in the challenge are snowbank associates. Will you be the first to document one of these rare snowbank fungi in the Rocky Mountains?
