Abstract:

In this Urban Barcode Project proposal the scientists describe how they will go about determining the genera of different types of mushrooms. By collecting both wild and domestic samples the scientists believe that through the process of DNA barcoding, information regarding the mushrooms’ DNA make-up will help determine the genera, along with other useful information.
