2024 has been a banner year for mushrooms and I have been photographing as many varieties as I can find. As a photographer, I am primarily responding to their physical beauty and variety but I am trying to learn their names as well. I am relying on the "PictureMushroom" app for initial identification and trying to confirm the names by pouring through guidebooks. I will try to continue to make corrections as I learn more and would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
