Mushroom (and Other Fungi) BioBlitz 2022

Be a citizen scientist for a day! Help park rangers and other fungal enthusiasts find and photograph fungi throughout the park! You will learn a little bit about Minnesota's mushrooms and have a chance to explore parts of the park rarely seen by visitors.

Meet at the Visitor Center at 8:45 am for a brief introductory talk before we head out to explore. Use your phone to photograph what you see and upload your observations to iNaturalist to help park biologists better understand fungal communities within the monument.

What to Bring? Yourself and your phone! It is helpful to download the free iNaturalist app before your visit. This is an outdoor, off-trail event so please dress accordingly. This event is appropriate for all ages and is free and open to the public - no experience necessary!

For more information about the event, call (507) 825-5464, ext. 214, to speak to a park ranger. Stay tuned to Pipestone National Monument's facebook page for updates in case of inclement weather.
