This thread died a long time ago but I have something to add. i have been looking at the Mycology dept gallery of Arkansas mushrooms & it sucks. i want to do further research. I am working on the picture taking part for now & trying to get a positive ID on each of them but not many ppl are familiar with the fungus of Arkansas. I would appreciate any help I can get. I have been going around asking farmers if I can explore their land to take pictures only. I do not disturb their cattle or property. I am respectful of their things. No one has told me no as of yet but it seems like I keep finding all the same species in my area. I hope to venture out when invited to do so. As of yet I have no critters. We are in a transition that took longer than we expected & recently had another set back with 2 deaths in the family. My husband promised that I could get critters when we get our land.
