SUMMARY:Jacob Kalichman - Mushroom Forms\, or: Macromacromorphology - Friday June 10\, 2022 at 07:00 PM Eastern Time
DESCRIPTION:Typical lists of mushroom forms (agaric  bolete  polypore  crust…) are familiar and useful  but we don’t often give the forms themselves much attention. This presentation will be a casual attempt to add some precision and thoroughness to how we think about the forms  relating them to each other and giving extra attention to the in-betweens – mostly with pictures. Jacob Kalichman has been practicing identifying gilled mushrooms by sight since 2010  especially in California and Tennessee  focusing on little-known and difficult-to-distinguish genera. He is fascinated by the evolutionary relationships among mushrooms and keeps track of the genus-level taxonomy of the gilled ones and their relatives at www.agaric.us. He wrote the species text for the forthcoming Audubon guide and is currently a field mycologist collecting for the Matheny Lab at the University of Tennessee  with an extra focus on Inocybaceae (fibercaps). The lecture will take place Friday June 10  2022 at 07:00 PM Eastern Time  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.

SUMMARY:Henry Beker - The Hebeloma project: database to website and development of an AI species identifier - Sunday\, June 12\, 2022 at 2PM (Eastern Time)
DESCRIPTION:The Hebeloma project has been evolving for over 20 years. The database that started in 2003 now has over 10 000 collections  from around the world  with not only metadata but also morphological descriptions and photographs  both macroscopic and microscopic  as well as molecular data including at least an ITS sequence. Included within this set of collections are almost all types worldwide.The next phase has been to develop a website  which updates as the database updates. This website  which will be launched on 1 July 2022  includes up-to-date species descriptions for all published species  worldwide  that are recognized as ‘current’. The descriptions reflect the collections of each species on the database. It also has a number of tools available to the user. For example a user may explore those species with similar habitat preferences  or those from a particular biogeographic area. A user is also able to compare a range of characters of different species. A key part of the website is the species identifier tool. The user inputs a small number of characters and the tool promptly returns the most likely species represented  ranked by probability. We will present the machine-learning techniques behind the tool  and the results it has had in testing to date. Henry J. Beker is a professor and Honorary Fellow at Royal Holloway  University of London. He started life as a mathematician and became involved in informatics and information security. His career has spanned various executive and director roles within major electronics companies; Chairman and Chief Executive of a major publicly listed company in both Europe and the United States; advising the American National Standards Institute on security banking standards; Presidency of the Institute of Mathematics in the UK; authoring several books including Cipher Systems (1982)  one of the first books to be published on the subject of protection of communications; helping steer a number of growing companies to trade sale or floatation; and founding the charity: e-Learning Foundation. In the early 1990s Henry became interested in mycology. In 2000 he met Jan Vesterholt and they formed a partnership working on the genus Hebeloma. Since 2005 his mycological research has been focused solely on Hebeloma and in 2016 (with Ursula Eberhardt) Fungi Europaei 14 was published  a monograph on Hebeloma in Europe. Since then the team have been working on Hebeloma worldwide and are in the process of publishing a series of papers on the Hebeloma of North America. Henry has also served on the council of the British Mycological Society and is currently a Scientific Collaborator with Botanic Garden  Meise.
