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
Amanita brunnescens

ALT Amanita brunnescens

Amanita sect. Caesareae (Florida)

'We are advancing the science': Wild mushrooms, DNA and citizen scientists in Colorado's Mountains

'We are advancing the science': Wild mushrooms, DNA and citizen scientists in Colorado's Mountains

In spite of ongoing drought in parts of the state, it was a very wet August in Colorado’s mountains. Heavy rains brought an abundance of wild mushrooms, including some that are new to science. But...

Carbon sequestration potential of fungally produced composts

Carbon sequestration potential of fungally produced composts

Our previous study on the decay of forest waste products found that the compost produced by wild fungi holds up to twice as much carbon as natural montane soils (duff, produced by natural organic...
