SUMMARY:Identifying Fungi and Their Habitats in Need of Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Greg Mueller in the field  Description:Species of fungi are not immune to the threats that put species of animals and plants at risk: habitat loss  loss of symbiotic hosts  pollution  over exploitation  and climate. Because resources  financial and human  will always be limited  determining which species are thriving and which are rare or declining is crucial for targeting conservation action towards species in greatest need. Assessing the conservation status of a species (bird  plant  or fungus) requires some minimal data including information on its distribution  population size and trend  and information on why it might be in decline. Much of the data needed are observational – what occurs where and when and are these patterns changing. This is where amateur mycologists / community scientists can  and need to help. Several initiatives across the globe including FungiMap in Australia  The Lost and Found Initiative in the UK  and The Fungal Diversity Survey (FunDiS) in the US are developing tools and providing incentives and coordination to engage community scientists in generating data needed for conservation assessments and to advocate for conservation action. About Greg Mueller:Greg Mueller is Chief Scientist and V.P. of Science the Chicago Botanic Garden. His research focuses on the evolution  ecology  and conservation of fungi  especially mushrooms. Greg has carried out fieldwork throughout the world  with a focus on the Americas  China  and Australasia. He has authored six books/book length volumes and more than 100 journal articles. He is past president of the Mycological Society of America and was recently named a Distinguished Mycologist by the Society. Greg is active in international fungal conservation efforts  chairing both the IUCN Fungal Conservation Committee and Specialist Group on mushrooms  brackets and puffballs  and with a colleague  coordinates the Global Fungal Red List Initiative. He is a board member of FunDiS (Fungal Diversity Survey) and has adjunct appointments at the University of Chicago  and an adjunct professor at University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University.  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
