Also would love ideas on the granules on the cap. Not snot, not bugs, but I vaguely remember seeing something that it could have been...maybe another fungus? I should have written it down lmao

Are you doing the sequencing or are you sending it off for analysis?

Sending it off through an ongoing, year-long MycoMap project in my province.
I also participate in the continental mycoblitzes through the same lab (Mycota), those are NA-wide but limited to 10 submissions over the course of a week. They do them about 3 times per year, summer, fall, winter.

That is interesting. I have some weird gymnopilus that I does not fit cleanly into a species(I am probably missing something honestly), I will have to look into that program to finally find out. Thanks for passing that along.

FYI, Mycota's mycoblitz no longer has a limit on submissions. That said, none of my submissions have made it through the queue yet.

That's great to hear, a person could do a lot of damage in a week of collecting. Have you considered volunteering to validate sequences for the mycoblitzes? I keep meaning to sit down and figure it out, but I'm always run off my feet this time of year.

I've considered it enough to have the this guide bookmarked but I haven't read through it yet.

The BC project has zoom meetings each week to go over the validation process. If you ever get around to it I imagine the coordinators would be happy to CC you in on the emails if you message them. Anything to help the validation bottleneck lmao.
