One Month Left! Mushrooms Are Popping - Join the Fall Fungi Bio-Blitz

Hello Mushroom Hunters & Nature Lovers,

Thanks to the recent rains, mushrooms are finally making their grand entrance across Thetis Island - just in time for the final month of the Fall Fungi Bio-Blitz Challenge!

Through November 1st, help ThINC track the incredible diversity of fungi (and lichens!) sprouting up in our forests, trails, and even backyards. From colourful caps to strange slime molds, every observation counts toward a better understanding of our island’s ecology.
