On October 15, 2009, Board of Trustees members, staff and invited guests of Denver Botanic Gardens gathered inside Gates Hall on the Gardens York Street property to participate in a luncheon and dedication of the newly-named Sam Mitchel Herbarium of Fungi.
After lunch, attendees enjoyed a video tribute to Dr. Mitchel. People who knew and worked with Dr. Mitchel then elaborated on his life as a father, as a doctor, as a scientist, and as a man. After the speeches, the new sign which now adorns the entrance to the herbarium was unveiled and dedicated. Immediately following the dedication ceremony, guests were allowed to attend an open house in the Sam Mitchel Herbarium of Fungi.
