Frogwood is a mycological wonderland, with over a hundred species of mushrooms identified so far by our staff mycologists. All of the pictures below were taken at Frogwood by Trout.

We are trying to identify all of them and it's a work in progress. We need your help with this project! Please send corrections and mushroom identification information to us
