A placeholder for more sources and material for my most recent Mycena News article. (12/4/2011) As of this re-edit, it's been a year and I haven't added anything, so I truly did drop the ball on it.

Once-academic track mycology grad student, now a fully certified microscopist. All-around parataxonomist and science geek. A scientific jack-of-all-trades, I am an essential lab and field tool; available for your favorite scientific project!
