and part-time mycologist working on among other projects Sudden Oak Death (SOD) an exotic forest disease that is forever changing the composition of coastal forests in Northern California and Southern Oregon.
With an estimated 600000 undescribed species and assuming 5000 taxonomists (a huge overestimate of mycologists with some training in taxonomy worldwide) bridging the gap in knowledge within 40 years would require everyone to classify 120 species during their career.
amateur mycologists collected 95 percent of the specimens and the collection is entirely curated by nonacademic volunteers.
This was done by a single mycologist working part-time on a project over about six years using traditional (not next-generation) sequencing techniques.
So actually working with amateur mycologists may reduce that error rate by half and allow for an order of magnitude increase in the speed at
In 1935 he was named head of the Division of Plant Mycology and Disease Survey for the U s. Department of agriculture.
Mycologists scientists who study fungi estimate there are up to five million species of fungi On earth. Of these only about 2%or 100000 species have been described formally.
Mycologists Bryn Dentinger and Laura Suz from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew UK used DNA sequencing to identify three new species in a packet of dried porcini mushrooms purchased from a supermarket
But discoveries of novel species are the new norm in modern mycology a change being driven by advances in our ability to sequence DNA.
Already, the University of British columbia researchers, led by mycologist Colette Breuil, have taken the fungus genome, pinpointed the gene responsible for staining the pine wood blue
rare and worth several thousand dollars per kilo, explains David Read, a mycologist at the University of Sheffield, UK,
To sort out the scandals, mycologist Francis Martin, at The french National Institute for Agricultural Research in Nancy,
Mycologist David Hibbett of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, says that he is amazed to learn that the two species of fungi share any genes involved in symbiosis at all.
But E. rostratum is not a household name, even among mycologists. Glenn Roberts, a retired medical mycologist, says that in his 40 years of experience at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
he had seen only one case: a soft-tissue arm wound in an immunocompromised patient. He was shocked
Mycologists first attributed ash dieback to Hymenoscyphus albidus, a species endemic to Europe that they thought had developed into a new, more virulent strain.
But in 2011 a group of mycologists determined that the disease was caused by a different species altogether,
"Mycologists argued back and forth, and meanwhile the pathogen moved west across Europe. The latest research indicates that H. pseudoalbidus is native to Japan,
In the field of mycology the journals that publish the description of species and systematics papers tend to have little impact;
After the samples had been gathered they were classified in accordance with a standard criterion that is used by mycologists in this field
Arun Pandey from the Department of Botany University of Delhi India and Susanne Renner from the Departments of Systematic Botany and Mycology University of Munich Germany decided to produce a checklist of the Cucurbitaceae of India that would bring up-to date the information
In an article published today in Peerj Mycologists Bryn Dentinger and Laura Martinez-Suz from the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in London set out to ask this question by using DNA-based taxonomy.
