The first high school teacher training course for the project was held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC 5-7 August 2013 for five high school teachers from North Carolina, one Assistant Professor (Dr. Mozley-Standridge) and four undergraduate students from Middle Georgia State College. The workshop taught participants about macrofungi in both the field and the lab, and included training in the use of the MycoPortal, and ways to use macrofungi and the MycoPortal in high school biology courses to meet curriculum standards for North Carolina. A second course for high school teachers will be offered in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Mycological Society of America at University of California, Berkeley in June 2016. | The first high school teacher training course for the project was held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC 5-7 August 2013 for five high school teachers from North Carolina, one Assistant Professor (Dr. Mozley-Standridge) and four undergraduate students from Middle Georgia State College.
