ABOUT FUNGI/MUSHROOMS:
Mushroom, Fleshy spore-bearing structure of certain fungi, typically of the phylum Basidiomycota. It arises from the mycelium, which may live hundreds of years or a few months, depending on its food supply. Since some poisonous mushrooms closely resemble edible ones, mushrooms intended for eating must be accurately identified.

ABOUT THE LOCATION (Davidson-Arabia Nature Preserve):
Explore 2,550 acre DeKalb County greenspace called the Davidson - Arabia Nature Preserve. The Preserve also includes other large formations of exposed granite, wetlands, pine and oak forests, multiple streams, and two lakes. The rare, native plant species, such as the signature red diamorpha in the winter and fall’s yellow daisies, make it seem as though the rock is in constant metamorphosis. A land that has taken 400 million years to form, it offers natural wonders, rich history, breathtaking beauty, unique biomes and intriguing cultural histories.
