SUMMARY:Fungal microscopy
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture  you will learn why you might want to use a microscope  what types of microscope there are  how to choose a microscope  how to measure microscopic characteristics of fungi  and the kinds of chemicals and reagents that are useful in fungal microscopy. Alan will also cover the important microscopic characteristics of fungi  how to prepare your slides  how to take photographs of what you’re seeing through the microscopes. He will also go over different kinds of spores that can help with the identification of various genera of fungi. About Alan Rockefeller:Alan Rockefeller is a mushroom identification specialist  public speaker  biohacker  photographer  and consultant who lives in Oakland  California. Alan began his autonomous studies in the field of mycology in 2001  beginning with the collective fungi in California. Since then  he has traveled to various countries to collect and study mushrooms. He has photographed and scoped well over 1000 species of fungi  with a particular focus on fungi in the genus Psilocybe as well as bioluminescent fungi  especially Mycena. Through phylogenetic and microscopic analysis  he has identified several species not described in the scientific literature and co-authored a number of papers on Psilocybe  Mycena and Amanita. Alan regularly identifies mushrooms on websites such as Mushroom Observer  Facebook  the Shroomery and iNaturalist. In the lab Alan sequences the DNA of mushrooms from all over the world  gaining new insights into existing species  discovering new ones and eliminating duplicates in the taxonomic record. He lectures and teaches widely and his (recorded) lectures on DNA sequencing  microscopy and psilocybe have been a valuable resource to many. Alan is also chief mycologist at MIMOSA Therapeutics.  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
