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:Come join us for an online ID meeting this Monday\, September 16
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday’s ID meeting will be happening online. \nCome share what you’ve found\, see what others have found or to ask more general questions about anything fungi-related. \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 details of cap\, underside and stem\, and to note the habitat \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.
