SUMMARY:Anne Pringle- Why Are Mushroom Poisonous\, Anyway? (and do the chemistries of death caps and fly agarics explain their invasions?)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 30th\, 7:30 pm\nOn Zoom (Link Below) \nAmanita phalloides (the death cap) is an invasive mushroom. So is Amanita muscaria (the fly agaric). Lately\, my lab has been wondering why so many species of the genus Amanita are stuffed so full of potent specialized metabolites\, and we’ve been asking if chemistry is one mechanism invasive mushrooms use to spread. So far\, we’ve got conflicting stories: As A. muscaria has moved through South Africa\, its metabolites haven’t changed much.  (And by the way\, its metabolites seem to kill nematodes and not flies.)  By contrast\, gene expression data suggest A. phalloides is using its chemistry in new and interesting ways in its invasive Californian range. At this talk I’ll discuss our lab’s recent publications and hint at where we think this is all going. \nAnne Pringle was born in Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia\, and spent her childhood traveling through Southeast Asia and West Africa. After completing a Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science Fellowship at the University of California\, Berkeley\, she joined the faculty at Harvard University. She next moved to the University of Wisconsin\, Madison\, where she is now a Vilas Distinguished Achievement and the Mary Herman Rubinstein Professor in the Departments of Botany and Bacteriology\, as well as Chair of the Botany Dept. She has given hundreds of talks to academic and popular audiences in multiple countries and has been awarded the Alexopoulos Prize for a Distinguished Early Career Mycologist\, the Mendelsohn Excellence in Mentoring Award from the Harvard University Graduate Student Council\, the Fannie Cox Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching from Harvard University\, a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship\, the Mid-Career Mycorrhiza Research Excellence Award from the International Mycorrhiza Society\, and a Fulbright U.S. Scholarship (taken to South Africa). Anne’s research focuses on understanding the biodiversity of fungi. Her many papers on invasive mushrooms and lichens bear witness to the changes happening on Earth\, and as a teacher her aim is to draw attention to fungi\, revealing them as ubiquitous and essential species of our landscapes. \nThe event details are only viewable to active members who are logged into the website.

SUMMARY:Lecture presentation and UV night walk in Green-Wood Cemetery\, part of Moon-Fest 2026
DESCRIPTION:Please note: we have secured 10 tickets for NYMS members to attend this special event. Secure your reservation for this special event using the tickets pane below. Your name and email address will be provide to the Green-Wood Cemetery. \nFriday\, May 1st at 8:30pm\nGreen-Wood Cemetery \nJoin NYMS member Blacki Migliozzi\, for an evening presentation in Green-Wood Cemetery exploring the hidden world of UV fluorescence in fungi and lichens\, offering a glimpse into what makes certain species glow. Following the talk\, participants will head out on a guided evening walk with UV flashlights to spot luminous lichens. \nBlacki Migliozzi is a longtime member of the NYMS and a data journalist for the New York Times.
