It's a Wonderful Herbarium of Fungi 🍄✨🎬 Herbaria and other natural history collections are the basis for all biodiversity science.   Next time you pick up medicine at the pharmacy, sit down for a meal, take in a marvelous view or enjoy the shade of a tree on a hot day, remember that much of what makes life wonderful is possible because of plant and fungal herbaria.   Herbaria are critical for the study and advancement of agriculture, conservation biology, land management, medicine, invasive species control and climate change resilience.   Without these collections we are unable to describe and name species, study where and when organisms live, understand evolutionary processes, or face many of the unknown challenges of the future.   Denver Botanic Gardens’ Sam Mitchel Herbarium of Fungi holds over 24,000 specimens representing macrofungi and mushrooms from across the Southern Rockies.   It serves as the epicenter for studying fungi in Colorado, bringing together scientists, enthusiasts, students, and anyone who has ever asked “what kind of mushroom is this?
