I'm a self-taught amateur who only got seriously interested in fungi half a decade ago. Since then I've photographed over 300 species. 47 of them are, at this point unidentified, and there are hundreds of files that I haven't had time to try to ID yet.

A DNA analysis of soil core samples in 2004 found 10,000 species of fungi in North America.

The quotes below are from "North American checklist identifies the fungus among us"
https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/722471
"All of these fungi – and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, more – occur in North America. Of those that are known to science, 44,488 appear in a new checklist of North American fungi, published this month in the journal Mycologia."

"Although an estimated 1.5-5.1 million species of fungi are believed to exist on Earth, only about 120,000 have been discovered and described,” Miller said. “Obviously, we have a lot of work to do to fill in the gaps of our knowledge, but this checklist is a first step to getting our arms around North America’s fungi."

Before I started looking at your images, I had no idea there were so many fungi, lichens, and slime molds!
