2023 Mushroom Festival Mycoblitz
Below are all of the pertinent stats for the 4th annual Mushroom Show Mycoblitz. Thank you to the CMS MLCO taxonomy team members Bruce Newhouse & Susie Holmes who organized and monitored the event.
Also thank you to the many CMS members and others who participated in making observations on iNaturalist, and also those that helped with the identification of the observations posted.
First, a look back. The September and early October rains definitely made a difference.

Our Star Identifiers
We love having the observations, but what we treasure even more are those that are willing to spend time looking at pictures and identifying what is found on iNaturalist. This is the 2nd year in a row that August Jackson takes the stop spot. August is both a CMS member and is on the staff of the Mount Pisgah Arboretum.
