SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Fungal Collections of the UBC Herbarium
DESCRIPTION:Greetings VMS! And a big welcome to our new members from the Spring festival.. \nApologies for the late announcement this month\, I promise this one is worth the wait! \nFungal collections at the UBC Herbarium: Overview and recent developments\nPresentation by Justin Ngo\n7pm Tuesday\, June 10th @ Floral Hall (5251 Oak St.) \nJustin Ngo is one of two Curatorial Assistants under Karen Golinski at the Bryophyte\, Lichens\, and Fungi Collections at the UBC Herbarium\, located in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. He graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Science studying predominantly plant biology\, though many of the courses he has taken as an undergraduate student have touched upon the immense physiological and molecular complexity of the fungi. Having worked at the UBC Botanical Garden and the Temporal Ecology Lab in Forestry before beginning this position\, he has had experience in handling delicate botanical material and managing large databases. \nThe UBC Herbarium in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum holds more than 91 thousand accessioned dried fungus and lichen specimens\, serving as a key resource for fungal and lichenological research\, university education and public outreach. The two collections\, which emphasize B.C. specimens\, are housed in 90 specially-designed cabinets in a unique\, publicly-accessible space. Specimen cabinets are punctuated by stunning displays\, including shadowboxes illustrating a species of Cortinarius named for Oluna Ceska\, and an artful presentation of the Sherman Brough lichen-dyed wool collection. \nUBC is part of a global effort to increase the visibility and usability of herbarium collections by making data and images available online through publicly-accessible data portals. We deeply appreciate the pioneering efforts of Dr. R.F. Scagel\, who initiated the process of recording UBC specimen metadata in 1981. With the assistance of student and community volunteers\, we have made substantial progress in processing a large backlog of specimens. Soon\, with the help from mycological community members\, we will start uniting specimen records with images from the Mushroom Observer and other sources to further facilitate biodiversity discovery and appreciation. \nDoors at 7\, Talk at 7:30 \nAs always\, we would love to see your specimens at our monthly mushroom table for identification and admiration. Be sure to check out what unique Spring finds are at the May display. \n  \nLove the talk? Your VMS membership allows you to access an archive of several past talks on our website for your marathoning pleasure. As always\, masks are encouraged in indoor spaces and for all in-person events! \n  \nVMS is still hybrid and we would love to see you virtually if you can’t make it in person! You can join us live through Zoom and there will be a Zoom recording in our members’ archive: \nTopic: June Meeting\nTime: Jun 10\, 2025 07:30 PM Vancouver\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86901348247?pwd=BtbfWFUh8Ywynx2jlzxllQom1ioj22.1 \nMeeting ID: 869 0134 8247\nPasscode: 641695
