Hi iNat! I’m looking for Ontario freshwater mussel shells (not live) for a photography project. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
While i’m at it, I’m also looking for smelt! anyone?

Thank you!
Is it possible for a new user to leave a message for someone who has observed the mussels I’m looking for? their profile specifically says “reach out!” but I don’t see a place I can leave a message. Thanks again for the help. I am really loving this site!
“you must have at least three verifiable observations or have made three identifications for other users before you can send a message to another user.” https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000170769-how-can-i-contact-a-user-on-inaturalist-can-inaturalist-contact-them-for-me-
You could leave a comment on an observation though.

Since i doubt that ksjaar knows nothing at all about nature, it should be very easy to make three identifications. Pick a taxon you know.
