Ohio is home to more than two thousand kinds of mushrooms, which exhibit a broad variety of shape, size, color, and habitat, as shown in the photos above. All mushrooms are fungi, which play a critical role in nature and an equally important role in the lives of people everywhere. This is a ZOOM program in which I will share several dozen color photographs of Ohio mushrooms taken throughout the Buckeye State over the past four decades, as well as guidelines and resources for finding and identifying some of Ohio’s most beautiful, interesting, and tasty (!) wild mushrooms.
