SUMMARY:Kurt Miller - Diversity of Fungi in Puerto Rico Tuesday\, May 3\, 2022 7pm
DESCRIPTION:Our friends at the Mid-Hudson Mycological Association are kindly opening up one of their lectures to our members. Thank you MHMA and John Michelotti! The talkPuerto Rico is an island in the Caribbean with a unique culture history and biological diversity. Citizen scientist Kurt Miller has lived here for several years in which he has documented hundreds of species of tropical macrofungi. He will be discussing the taxonomy and species diversity of these beautiful mushrooms together with high quality photos from different habitats all over the island. Kurt Miller is a community scientist from Kirkland Washington. He lives in Puerto Rico where he has interned with Forest Service mycologist Dr. Jean Lodge and served as a field biologist during the 11th annual International Mycology Congress in San Juan Puerto Rico. His main interests are tropical fungal ecology and taxonomy environmental education and documenting rare mushroom species especially those which form mycorrhizae with sea grape (Coccoloba spp) a native tree. He administers the local group ‘Fungi of Puerto Rico’ and leads several fungal identification walks annually on the island. He is a FunDiS Biodiversity Database Identifier specializing in fungi of the Caribbean Islands.

SUMMARY:Marielle Anzelone - Wildflowers of New York City - Wednesday May 4\, 2022 at 7PM (Eastern time)
DESCRIPTION:New York City is filled with wild flora – majestic trees  rare wildflowers  wetland grasses – that are critical to the ecological function of the City’s ecosystems. Learn about our indigenous plants and why local ecotypes are important. Explore our urban forests  marshes and meadows that house these species and threats to these habitats. We’ll also discuss what you as an individual can do  including how to go native in the garden and why preserving biodiversity in New York City matters to the health and future of the planet. Marielle Anzelone  is an urban ecologist focusing on people’s connections to nature and how design  education  and government can nurture this relationship. She founded NYC Wildflower Week in 2007 to engage urbanites with the wild flora of the Big Apple. Her writing has been featured in the New York Times and the Daily News. Currently she’s also leading a year-long discussion about trees on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC public radio. The lecture will take place Wednesday May 4  2022 at 7PM (Eastern time)  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.

SUMMARY:Cathie Aime - Illuminating the Dark Fungi - Friday\, May 6th\, 7pm (Eastern time)
DESCRIPTION:Conservative estimates put the number of extant fungal species at 1.5 – 5.1 million  of which < 10% have been described. One of the many questions that has been generated from these estimates is where are the “missing”  or dark  fungi. The majority of fungal data  including species estimates  are based on studies of macrofungal diversity in temperate regions. The main focus of work in my lab is to discover and characterize biodiversity (species  genetic  and functional) of fungi from un- and underexplored habitats and lineages—especially the early diverging microfungi of the Basidiomycota from tropical regions. We combine exploratory field research with traditional and modern tools (ranging from physiological profiling to comparative genomics) to accomplish this. This has included  for example  the establishment of two long-term (20+ years) field studies in remote regions of the Guiana Shield and the Congo River Basin; development of tools for utilizing herbarium specimens for phylogenomic studies and for working with fastidious microfungi; and providing the first available genomic resources for nine classes of fungi. Results of this work have improved understanding at all levels of fungal biodiversity including the discovery and description of new higher rank lineages; discovery of new niches and ecological roles; and characterization of specific adaptive traits that appear to have driven success  in terms of species richness of lineages  and in terms of epidemic potential in phytopathogens. Finally  we have shown that the most widely used culture-dependent and culture-independent methods may fail to detect some fungal lineages  which will require development of novel approaches before illumination of global diversity in toto is achieved. Cathie Aime is Professor of Mycology at Purdue University and Director of the Purdue Herbaria. Her lab conducts research on the systematics  biodiversity  and evolution of Fungi focusing on: 1) the earliest diverging lineages of Basidiomycota (Pucciniomycotina  Ustilaginomycotina  and Wallemiomycetes); 2) rust fungi; 3) fungi in tropical ecosystems; and 4) fungal diseases of tropical tree crops. Dr. Aime has won numerous awards including the departmental awards for Outstanding Graduate Advisor/Mentor and for Outstanding Teacher  as well as having been a Favorite Faculty Nominee. On the research side  she’s won The GMA Food Safety Award from the International Association for Food Protection  and is a Fellow of the Mycological Society of America and the Linnean Society of London. Her publications are too numerous to list (or count). The lecture takes place Friday  May 6th  7pm (Eastern time)  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
