NorBOL attended the event and received about 20 new species for barcoding. Most of these came from the exhibition made by the Mushroom Society, but some were also donated by the visitors.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.norbol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P9040818.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.norbol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P9040818.jpg\" alt=\"Sopputstilling p\u00e5 soppens dag\" width=\"3968\" height=\"2976\" \/><\/a><em>Mushroom exhibition on Mushroom Day.

NorBOL staff used the opportunity to talk to visitors about DNA barcoding, the work that they do and how mushrooms are preserved and stored in the scientific collections at the museum. So far, NorBOL har received more than 120 species from the area of Troms\u00f8, with great help from the Mushroom Society.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that the last to check-point dates (11 and 18 September) will bring in even more specimens, and that we can continue our outreach on DNA-barcoding to the general public.
