This research is part of the doctoral thesis of the PPG-Ecology student Thaiane Sousa, supervised by the doctors Flávia Costa and Juliana Schietti.

The course took place from 4/24 to 5/15 at indigenous schools located in the communities of the Rio Negro catchment (Itacoatiara Mirim, Serra do Mucura, Pirarara Poço, São Pedro) and at the UEA Campus in São Gabriel da Cachoeira. In addition to the communities, the workshop was also held in Presidente Figueiredo. The objective of the course was to teach classes on biodiversity and the use of mushrooms from the Amazon, in addition to teaching them about the collection and preparation of exsiccates for the botanical identification of species.
