Christian Schwarz

Christian Schwarz (he/him) is an itinerant naturalist from California. He is co-author of "Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast” as well as "Mushrooms of Cascadia". Fungi satisfy his curiosity with their endless forms – from the grotesque to the bizarre to the sublime – and provide a rich lens through which to learn about the bigger pictures of ecology and evolution. He loves fish, plants, nudibranchs, moths, and dragonflies, and is passionate about community science.

“Christian was a wonderful facilitator and teacher! He did a great job holding space, sharing knowledge, and leading the day.” -Participant feedback
