Coming on Thursday, June 18th at 7PM the NYMS will launch a study/working group called NEST—Northeast Sequencing Team. NEST aims to further in-depth research into groups of understudied mushrooms native to New York City and the surrounding area. The group will collect target species of mushrooms and fungi, complete high quality macro and microscopic observations of them, and sequence their DNA. You do not need to have previous experience in microscopy or sequencing to join NEST (though it will be quite valuable if you do). The group will meet periodically on Zoom to discuss projects, techniques and results. NEST is led by Matthew Rozanoff.

The first meeting of NEST where we will introduce the concept and choose areas of study will be on:

Thursday June 18th at 7PM. Please RSVP if you would like to join. Or just attend the meeting using the Zoom link below. It’s okay to lurk if you’re not sure.
