| Stay tuned..... The BMC is still alive and out there collecting mushrooms and having events and meetings. New members are quite welcome. Use the email address at the top of this page to contact the BMC. The club is busy preparing for the 2009 NEMF Foray on Cape Cod. It'll be the BEST! |
In transition......Wanted - Entoloma abortivum Dear mushroomers, I am a graduate student at Duke University in Rytas Vilgalys' mycology lab. I first became involved with NAMA during my undergraduate work at La Crosse, Wisconsin with Tom Volk and was impressed with how active NAMA members are in going out and collecting mushrooms and how proficient many are at taxonomy. For my PhD thesis I am interested in deciphering the parasitism that leads to aborted Armillaria (formerly known as aborted Entoloma). However, to do this I need extensive sampling throughout North America so I can track which species of Armillaria are involved in which regions. This is where I hope you might be of assistance! These mushrooms will start appearing over the next few months and I would be most grateful if mushroom hunters would keep an eye out for me and send any specimens they collect. I've attached a flyer with more information and my contact information. Thank you so much for your time. This project is not possible without the cooperation and assistance of clubs such as yours and I appreciate these efforts very much. -Bernadette O'Reilly |
