Abstract:

In addition to not knowing the types of fungi in our community we wanted to know what to think about our fungi. Fungi is taught to be an important decomposer, but can also make organism less healthy in some cases. Sometimes it appears as if a fungi is just living by itself with no impact on others. Our barcoding project will look to identify what fungi we have and what they do.
