Colorado Macrofunga Project

Getting our hands dirty with the DNA of Colorado’s fungi.

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

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 https://t.co/TxQxTNKZQj https://t.co/xAWx8BM4E4 @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.

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: https://t.co/RXej5jcwqM

@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.

[Colorado Macrofunga Project @COmacrofunga]

@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.

[Colorado Macrofunga Project @COmacrofunga]

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