About this project

A Field Guide
by Archie

A school expo project about some of the world's most fascinating fungi.

In Archie's words

This is a small database of some particularly interesting mushrooms. I selected some popular mushrooms, and some strange mushrooms, as well as some mushrooms I found interesting or have encountered.
