Description
This occurence list is a result of 210 forays conducted by the New Jersey Mycological Association, USA (www.njmyco.org). NJMA is a non-profit citizen science organization whose aims are to provide a means for sharing ideas, experiences, knowledge and common interests regarding fungi, and to furnish mycological information and educational materials to those who wish to increase their knowledge about mushrooms. Forays took place during May-November and were open to anyone wishing to participate, including non-members. Each foray was led by a seasoned member of NJMA. At each foray, fungal fruit bodies were observed and collected by ca. 20-30 attendees. Collecting took place during the course of two hours on land within a ca. 1-mile radius from the starting point (see latitude and longitude for each foray location). Species were identified immediately using field guides, other printed works, and various online resources. We acknowledge the participation of all citizens who joined the forays. This data set is featured in a publication: Shumskaya M., Filippova N., Lorenzen L., Blue S., Andrew C., Lorusso N.S. (2023) Citizen science helps in the study of fungal diversity in New Jersey.

Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 210 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Additional Metadata
| Purpose | This dataset is a result of the months-long effort led by the members and supporters of the New Jersey Mycological Association, including but not limited to casual participants, amateur mycologists and naturalists, and anyone else interested in looking for and/or identifying fungi. The main goal of this effort is to collect and identify the fungi found in a variety of habitats and ecological regions of New Jersey and to systematically record their occurrence and distribution, with a particular focus on rare and unknown taxa. |
