The family Pluteaceae (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in North America: a decade of molecular studies
The family Pluteaceae (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in North America: a decade of molecular studies Dr. Alfredo Justo is the Curator of Botany & Mycology at the New Brunswick Museum (Saint John, Canada). He oversees the curation and growth of the NBM Herbarium, which comprises over 100,000 specimens of plants, fungi, lichens, bryophytes and algae from New Brunswick and neighboring regions. His research focuses on the fungal diversity of Atlantic Canada, while maintaining ongoing global taxonomic research on selected genera of mushrooms. Dr. Justo’s research merges morphology-based and molecular methods to study the origin, evolution and current status of fungal biodiversity, especially across North America. ~~~~ Torrey Botanical Society Spring 2024 Lecture Series presented by Alfredo Justo, Curator of Botany and Mycology, New Brunswick Museum ~~~~ 00:00 Introduction 05:12 Lecture 57:23 Q&A ~~~~ For more information on future lectures, field trips, and the Torrey Botanical Society, visit https://www.torreybotanical.org
