Colorado Macrofunga Project

@ItaiYanai Unpopular for the uninitiated. Seasoned scientists understand, respect, and appreciate the peer review process.

Unpopular opinion: the peer review process does significantly improve the final work (though it is inevitably very long and super frustrating).

Recently-digitized 35mm slides, taken by renowned UMich mycologist Alexander H. Smith in the 60s-70s. Some of my favorites of the set were taken in the field: #UM_herb #mushroomtwitter #herbarium #mycology #Amanita #Clathrus #35mm #digitization @UMichEEB

Interested to hear why we are skeptics of the 'wood-wide web'? Please attend my seminar at Oregon State University Friday, Nov 18th, 4-5 pm Pacific. Co-author, Melanie Jones will also be online to answer questions fwcs.oregonstate.edu/fwcs/ecology-e… beav.es/eecb @jhooooks

Come see these and other #fungi this Sunday at the @IllinoisMyco annual show, held @chicagobotanic! We'll have displays and IMA merch for sale. Thx to the @FieldMuseum (Harris Learning Center) for loaning these wonderful educational materials out! #FungiFriday

@jesseSeeEm They never go bad. Dont fade or smear.

@jesseSeeEm What happened to good ol pencils?

keeping a lab notebook in pen that is water and/or alcohol soluble seems genuinely bonkers to me. I get that some archival pens are $$$, but it seems like $2 - $5 is worth it if it means a spill won't potentially erase pages of your data? </rant>

Honored to have had the opportunity to recognize the many mycological contributions made by my PhD mentor, collaborator, and friend Roy Halling in a special edition of The Botanical Review celebrating recently-retired NYBG curators: rdcu.be/clxok

@dhaelewa @opwall I may have DNA here. I need to check. I which case it may be just as easy to sequence here. One of the Belize specimens was from Cathie too. Let me look and get back to you. I can dig up the ITS and 28S for the CR C. lutescens onto GenBank.

@dhaelewa @opwall Just went digging into my old datasets and while I had specimens from Costa Rica and Belize, it seems their sequences were never produced or made it into the analyses. However I have C. lutescens from CR sequence data, but this is not that species.

@dhaelewa @opwall Cool. Around oaks I'm assuming? My gut feeling is that it's going to C. cinnabarinum, otherwise a very close relative.
