SUMMARY:Come join us for an online ID meeting this Monday\, starring the Amanitas!
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday’s ID meeting will be happening online. \nSince there are fewer fungi to be found this time of year\, we’ll be diving deeper into families of fungi that a lot of people are interested in. This Monday the spotlight is on Amanitas\, hosted by me. \nAmanitas are some of the showiest – and deadliest – fungi  in the fungal kingdom\, and sorting them into sections if not species is definitely a worthwhile skill. Bring your most exciting or confounding Amanita observations and let’s learn about them together! We might well have time left over to look at other observations too. \nAs always\, we encourage you to use iNaturalist to share your observations – it’s a great way to keep track of your finds\, and you will be able to participate in these two NYMS projects: \n\nFungi of New York City\nFungi Beyond New York City\nSlime Molds of New York City\n\nIf you’re not using iNaturalist\, try to have images on your computer that you can share. \nEither way\, it’s important to document your finds with clear pictures\, showing as many details as possible. \nAll members are welcome to join – especially new members! We will try to make it as easy as possible for everyone and are eager to assist\, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. \n-Sigrid Jakob\, NYMS

SUMMARY:Yeasts: the enormous diversity of single-celled fungi
DESCRIPTION:The Talk:\nMost fungi are completely invisible to humans. While we love to admire beautiful mushrooms and other large fruiting bodies in the forest\, entire communities of cryptic and microscopic fungi are living and growing under our feet. Single-celled fungi\, also known as yeasts\, are among these cryptic fungi. Because they are single-celled\, we can’t see them with our own eyes\, and yet they exist in almost all environments on Earth. The single-celled growth form evolved several times from hyphal ancestors and is common worldwide\, but yeasts’ roles in ecosystems are often mysterious. \nIn this talk\, I will introduce you to the wonderful world of naturally-occurring yeasts; giving some historic context on how humans have been interacting with yeasts for thousands of years\, before discussing what we do and don’t know about yeast ecology in nature. Then I’ll discuss my own work with yeasts: I work with yeasts in several natural New England habitats\, including temperate forests and carnivorous plants. I am working to expand our knowledge of yeast ecology and evolution by focusing on how yeasts interact with other living things in nature. With this talk\, I hope to give audience members a new appreciation for the mysterious and intriguing invisible fungal diversity they encounter every day. \nThe Speaker:\nPrimrose Boynton is an assistant professor in Biology at Wheaton College in Massachusetts\, USA. She received her PhD in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University in 2012\, where she studied the diversity and ecology of yeasts in carnivorous pitcher plants. She went on to work at the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön\, Germany\, on the ecology and evolution of Saccharomyces species in their natural environments. She is broadly interested in what determines microbial fitness in natural environments\, and uses the diversity of yeasts\, with a focus on model organisms in nature\, to understand yeast and microbial ecology and evolution. \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.

SUMMARY:NYMS pop-up walk\, Alley Pond Park\, Queens\, Saturday\, February 10th - Note different location
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk in Alley Pond Park\, Queens this Saturday\, February 10th! NOTE: we will be starting from a different location than usual. \nBring paper bags for collecting specimens\, a hand lens\, a knife\, a tackle box\, water and a lunch. \nWe highly recommend using the iNaturalist app (IOS\, Android) to document the fungi you find. Find out how to use it here. \nIf you’ve never been on a mushroom walk with us before\, here is what to expect. \nThe event details are only viewable to active members who are logged into the website. To view details of the event\, please use the login form in the left sidebar. \n\nWe look forward to seeing you on Sunday! \nAre there any mushrooms when it’s cold outside?\nWe will not encounter the abundance of fleshy mushrooms that we normally do during the summer and fall. However\, there will be plenty of wood decomposers like jellies\, basidiomycete crusts\, ascomycetes\, and polypores\, in addition to some gilled fungi that prefer the cold weather. (Be sure to ask your walk leader about fungi that make their own antifreeze). \nMembers are encouraged to lead pop-up walks!\nIf you are interested in leading or co-leading a pop-up walk please respond to this email. No taxonomic knowledge is required. The only prerequisite is familiarity with the club’s walk route in a specific park.
