-"The Macrofungi of Redlair" is a pet name given to a bio blitz specific to Redlair Nature Preserve, solely for fungi. The aim of the project is to collect any fungi observable with the naked eye in the preserve, and have it identified by genetic markers. My job is to document the find with pictures,  time, date, location,  and other relevant info. I then create an entry for each find (with aforementioned data) on [[https://inaturalist.org|inaturalist.org]] . Next I collect each specimen, dry it at low temperature, and voucher it with a link to the inaturalist entry. I then package the appropriately dried specimens,  with their vouchers and shep them to Mycota labs.+"The Macrofungi of Redlair" is a pet name given to a bio blitz specific to Redlair Nature Preserve, solely for fungi.

- The genetic markers used to identify the collections are in the ITS region, located between the small and large subunits of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences. Although other markers may be used , depending on the specimen.+ The genetic markers used to identify the collections are in the ITS region, located between the small and large sub-units of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences.
