But mycologists (as fungus professionals are known), do get a big boost from a surprisingly sophisticated world of amateurs – both those who tromp through the forests observing oddball species, as well as those who have helped build a community that links the amateurs with the pros.

Sometimes the amateurs come up with stunning discoveries.
