New Jersey Mycological Association meeting with guest speaker Dr. Roy Halling

Our speaker, Dr. Roy Halling, is the Curator of Mycology at the New York Botanical Garden. His topic will be "Biogeography of Fungi" 
People used to think that there weren’t really any limits to the dispersal of fungal species, but studies show that the spread of most fungi is restricted by barriers like oceans and mountain ranges. What can we learn when we look at patterns of mushroom species distribution? Can we believe the study that showed that 90% of spores fall within 45 centimeters of the mushroom that produced them? Will the migration of trees in response to climate change be limited by the mobility of their mushroom partners?
Come to our April 13th meeting to find out!
