  • Sign up to be a soil survey site by clicking the green box below. Your information will not be shared with others.

    Starting next year we will be taking small samples of soil from various locations around the state - over 100 in total. If you would like to have your property included for consideration, let us know by signing up. You do not need to have woods or any specific types of trees on your property. A simple grass lawn would qualify you. We will be taking small 2" soil cores, 3 times next year. With that small amount of soil, we may be able to detect hundreds, or even thousands of species of fungi by looking at the DNA in the soil. You could know many of the mushrooms that may appear on your property, even if you have not seem them fruiting. Help us quickly discover the biodiversity of mushrooms in our state by helping out with this research.

    BEING A SURVEY SITE DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL HAVE TO ALLOW ANYONE ON YOUR PROPERTY EXCEPT FOR A VERY SMALL GROUP OF RESEARCHERS (2-3 people), FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR, IN THE SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL.

    Email steve@hoosiermushrooms.org if you have any questions.

    We own property in LaGrange, Noble & Dekalb Co. Of Indiana.mthere is wooded areas on each. The LaGrange Co Property has mostly silty loam with woods, ponds, areas planted to warm season grasses. Some of the fields are cropped - some are pasture for Bison or Cattle. My father planted wide fence rows through out  o provide cover for a lot of wild life & plant diversity. 

    The Dekalb Co Property will be coming out of CRP this fall after being in the program for at least 20+ Years. It has wet areas - wooded areas and clay soils. 

    The Noble property has been cropped for about 20 years with a corn, bean rotation. There are wooded areas & wide fence rows there. I also have access to a natural resource learning property and LaGrange Co Park Properties. - if there is an interest - I could make the connections for you.
