About This Project
Biodiversity surveys often overlook fungi despite their importance. California’s Fungal Diversity Survey is changing this, but habitats like vernal pool grasslands are not yet well-surveyed. My project asks: what fungi occur at the vernal pools of the Jepson Prairie Preserve? I expects its diversity to mirror other grasslands, but there may be unique species. I will collect voucher specimens to generate baseline data for the preserve and provide insight on grassland fungi across the state.
