Did you know commercially grown mushrooms are almost always produced indoors? Facilities are able to maintain the perfect climate conditions for mushroom growth indoors, leading to average production of nearly 6 lbs of mushrooms per square foot. Mushrooms are in season year round due to these growing facilities, so enjoy some this month!

What if helping protect pollinators only took 15 minutes?

On Aug. 21-22, Floridians of all ages can join the Great Southeast Pollinator Census, a citizen science effort led in Florida by UF/IFAS Extension. All you need is a blooming plant, 15 minutes, and a little curiosity.

Choose a flowering plant in your yard, a park, schoolyard, or community garden, then count the bees, butterflies, beetles, and other pollinators that visit. No scientific experience or insect identification skills are required!

In 2025, Floridians submitted more than 5,100 counts across 59 counties and helped create 183 new sustainable pollinator habitats. This year, the goal is to reach all 67 Florida counties and double participation to 10,000 counts.
