"Fungarium!"
From the 1920s Toadstool Club to today’s Prairie States Mushroom Club, Iowa’s fascination with fungi continues to grow. Fungarium! offers a glimpse into this world where history, science, art, and nature converge - mirroring the fungal networks beneath our feet. The exhibit features 30+ preserved specimens from southeast Iowa, along with mushroom-dyed wool, spore prints, photos, and more. Contributions come from local community members, organizations, and the North American Mycological Association (NAMA). For more information on this exhibit, click Here.
