cool!

Agreed! - From Western Canada

Fungi are beautiful!

My very best work-study job was at the University of Michigan in the herbarium with Dr. Schaefer, indexing the type collection of fungi - in the early 70s.

Rozites RIP!

Best coffee hour in years!

Neat naming choice for that Caesar! Way to honor the indigenous folks!

That was a terrific team!!

A pinkish brown spored B. edulis group is throwing me for a loop.

Boletellus is like a melodramatic depiction of an overdressed fungal character in a fantasy

Sunset Truffle! Gorgeous!

FUN FACT! Fungi who grow in sand ar called Psammophilic fungi

Gracias por la presentación. Interesante experiencia en el mundo de los hongos. Felicitaciones. Saludos desde Venezuela.

That IS a fun fact Paul!

Psathyrella ammophila is a great example

I was waiting for that story — the last Leccinum I’ve eaten.

It depends what they are remediating. They are also not very efficient for remediation. Bacteria is better for this use.

For remediation of cellulose acetate like in cigarette butts, they are fairly efficient. But with heavy metals, oils and most contaminants, there are better options for remediation.

There are a couple of papers I read about 5-6 hrs ago that demonstrated some fungal species taking metals from the soil and transforming them from their toxic form into non-toxic naturally occurring minerals

That happened (in the example I am remembering right now) via cytoplasmic reactions and crystallization inside of the fungal hyphae

iNaturalist phone app

There is an iNaturalist fungi project in Green-Wood Cemetary

local Mycology Clubs like Boston

This Physicist loves Mycology! <3 Thank you for an amazing talk and Q&A! What an amazing lifetime of fascinating research and collaboration. :)

NYBG Bolete Web Page:http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/projects/boletineae/

There are clubs across the country of people interested in fungi — they lead forays, teach classes, etc — look for a club near you at namyco.org

Regional books are great for exploring

Thank you so much for this! My 10 year old and I watched together. He loves boletes and found your talk fascinating and inspiring!
