SUMMARY:Non-NYMS Event:  Curious Allies: Mutualism in Fungi\, Parasites\, and Carnivores
DESCRIPTION:One of New York Mycological Society’s very own members\, Katy Wang (katywangstudio.com) has some of their original art work featured in the fifth New York Botanical Garden triennial\, which starts on May 18th and runs up and through October 27th. \nCurious Allies: Mutualism in Fungi\, Parasites and Carnivores\, will open at the New York Botanical Garden on May 18\, alongside the garden-wide exhibition Wonderland: Curious Nature. Artworks have been selected for this Fifth Triennial by a jury team of Joanna Groarke\, Robin Jess\, Patricia Jonas\, and Susan Mintun. Chosen are 48 artworks from artists in the US\, Brazil\, Canada\, India\, Indonesia\, Ireland\, Japan\, South Africa\, and the UK. The artworks included illustrate various elements of the theme\, examining important and often unobserved relationships fungi\, lichens\, mycotrophic\, parasitic\, and carnivorous plants have with other plants and animals. Mushrooms and fungi serve as decomposers\, form networks between plants\, and can clean up environmental toxins. Lichens are themselves relationships between fungi and a chlorophyll-containing bacteria or algae. Parasitic plants attach directly to a host and draw nutrients from the host\, sometimes harming the host. And carnivorous plants supplement nutrients from soil and water with a diet of insects\, consuming them for additional nutrients. \nAll of these organisms develop relationships that are critical to functioning ecosystems\, but many times their impact is not fully appreciated. This exhibition hopes to shine a light on the many environmental benefits derived from these mutualistic relationships and new discoveries being made about their impacts. \nArtists with work included are: Susan Benjamin\, Margaret Best\, Jessica Daigle\, Rebecca Davies\, Maria Alice deRezende\, Ronda Dick\, Shevaun Doherty\, Jean Emmons\, Akiko Enokido\, Christiane Fashek\, Lara Gastinger\, Janet Goltz\, Prerna Gupta\, Yoko Harada\, Erika Hargesheimer\, Albina P. Herron\, Asuka Hishiki\, Ann Hoffenberg\, Mariko Ikeda\, Mieko Ishikawa\, Karen Kluglein\, Patricia Luppino\, Lucy Martin\, Tammy S. McEntee\, Sarah Morrish\, Eunike Nugroho\, Barbara Oozeerally\, Nina Petrochko\, Sengmany Phommachakr\, Linda Powers\, Theresa Ream\, Gillian Rice\, Betsy Rogers-Knox\, Daleen Roodt\, Elaine Searle\, Beverly Simone\, Kim Spink\, Jane Sturgeon\, Rose Torres\, Donnett Vanek\, Janene Walkky\, Yuan Yuan Wang\, Carol Woodin\, and Fatima Zagonel.\nIn I have two paintings in the show. The show is located in Ross Gallery\, which is located on the side entrance of the Mertz Library building.

SUMMARY:Learn how to do fungal DNA sequencing October 13!
DESCRIPTION:NYMS member Sally Kong is running another one of our ever popular DNA barcoding workshops where participants will learn how to extract fungal DNA\, amplify it\, perform gel electrophoresis and learn about how to interpret a sequence. \nSally is a software engineer\, artist\, and hobby biologist based in Brooklyn\, New York. For the past six years she’s built software for feature animation and games. Outside of work\, she spends most of her time at the community biology lab Genspace and is currently the lead of the community project Microbial Reef\, exploring the impact of oyster reefs on microbial communities and the biogeochemical cycling in local waterways. \nRecently\, in collaboration with NYMS she led the Roots of Renewal internship program teaching science\, art\, and sustainability practices to AAPI youth in Sunset Park through the lens of mycelium. \nShe’s excited to welcome other members to her home for the barcoding workshop! \nThe 3 hour workshop will take place on Sunday October 13 at 3pm in Red Hook Brooklyn. \nCost is $10 to cover pipette tips\, tubes\, reagents and Sanger sequencing. \nThis is a hands-on workshops so attendance is very limited. No prior knowledge is required. \nIf you are interested please email president@newyorkmyc.org with a short description of why you are interested in doing this workshop.

SUMMARY:High Rock Park\, Staten Island\, NY\, on Sunday\, August 4th
DESCRIPTION:We return to High Rock Park\, one of New York City’s mycorrhizal hot spots\, for a summer walk. Bring paper bags\, a hand lens\, a knife\, a tackle box (if you have one)\, 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. \nDuring the summer season this park is host to ticks and mosquitos\, so insect repellent is recommended. In the event of a severe weather forecast\, the walk may be shifted to a different date or cancelled. Please monitor your email accordingly. \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 there!
