Psilocybe yungensis that I found Feb '25 in Pastaza, Ecuador. This species gets its name from the Yungas region of Bolivia, where it was discovered in 1958. #fungi #psilocybe #mycology #photograhy

I am excited to be a mycologist for this foray in Ecuador. Here is what we found on the last one: https://t.co/qIA1oFWNbs All collections will be deposited at the INABIO herbarium in Quito for study + DNA barcoding. For more information see https://t.co/Hl28xtQ2cE

It's been a spectacular month in Colorado, but now it's time to head east for the Ohio Mushroom Festival. I'll be leading forays and giving talks - hope to see you all there! https://t.co/5vxjUbZtPI

Mycena "sp-AZ03" that Scott Ostuni spotted near Fox Mountain, Colorado last year. I just got a sequence of it back from Mycota Lab. This probably undescribed species currently only known from Colorado and Arizona. iNat 235426392 / MO 556415 #mycena #fungi #mushrooms #DNA

The first known photo of Trichoderma sp. ‘TX01’ - a rare and probably undescribed species of Trichoderma I collected on a vine in Texas in November, 2022. DNA barcoding results arrived today from Mycota Lab and the only match in Genbank is an unnamed collection from Florida.

An undescribed bioluminescent Mycena from Mycena sect. Sacchariferae, closely related to Mycena asterina found a few days ago in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Like Mycena asterina, only the cap glows. #bioluminescence #mycena #mycology

I have tried lots of different types of black velvet for mushroom photography and this one is my favorite. It is thicker and more durable than most other black velvet that I have tried. https://t.co/BMYkArD8mr The exact same shot with and without black velvet.

I used to get replies to my Genbank record updates in 1 or 2 days - now they are replying 5 weeks later. I am never voting Republican again!
