Hey everyone! My name is Julien Pometta. I'm in my fourth year at UC Santa Cruz. I love all things natural history with a focus on macrofungi. Feel free to reach out with questions about mushroom ID's!
In Fall 2022, I finished the "UCSC Arboretum Mycoflora Project" which attempted to document as many mushrooms in the UCSC Arboretum as possible in a year and a half timeframe. The goal was to begin building an understanding of the species diversity and richness at this time in history.
