This website on Florida fungi is an ongoing project of Bill Petty, retired Database Systems Engineer and naturalist/mycologist by avocation. Bill is also a certified (by University of Florida/IFAS) Master Gardener and Master Naturalist in the state of Florida.

Creature credits: This site is created in loving memory of our companion critters who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge:

• Grouper, lovable mix of Lab, poodle, and chow;
• Chopin, a tunnel-burrowing French lop rabbit that once belonged to Swedish guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen
• Snapper the Wonder Dog (Grouper's sister)
• Taime the Great, an orange tabby Manx mix
• Mudhoney, sister to Taime
