SUMMARY:VMS Meeting: Britt Bunyard
DESCRIPTION:Britt Bunyard will present “From Lowly Saprobe to Mycorrhizal Masters: Amanitas (A Tale Told in the DNA)” \n\nAn overview of all aspects (biology\, taxonomy\, chemistry\, physiology) of the beautiful Amanita mushrooms of North America. Everyone is familiar with the mushrooms but how much do we really know about what they are doing in the forest? How much do we know about their history and evolution? It turns out that a recent discovery–using modern molecular biology–led to an amazing discovery about their evolutionary past. Amanitas are mycorrhizal symbionts with forest trees but come from saprobic ancestors. The story is told in their DNA. Newbies and non mycologists will not be overwhelmed; advanced mycologists will not be bored\, this discussion is for everyone with lots of beautiful images. \n  \nBritt Bunyard\, PhD\, is the founder\, Publisher\, and Editor-in-Chief of the mycology journal Fungi. Britt has worked academically (and played very amateurishly) as a mycologist his entire career\, writing scientifically for many research journals and popular science magazines. He has served as an editor for mycological and entomological research journals\, and mushroom guide books. A popular evangelizer on all things fungal\, Britt has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered\, PBS’s NOVA and Wisconsin Foodie television programs\, and in The Atlantic\, Vogue\, Forbes\, Saveur\, Women’s World\, and others. He serves as Executive Director of the Telluride Mushroom Festival. He co-authored Mushrooms and Macrofungi of Ohio and Midwestern States (The Ohio State University Press) and is the co-author of the forthcoming Amanitas of North America and The Beginner’s Guide to Mushrooms (Quarry Books)\, both scheduled for publication in 2020.
