She sought help in identifying the mould from a mycologist who worked in the same building.
He served as program chair twice, local arrangements chair, secretary (1969), and chair (1980), and as its mycologist in residence for more than 30 years.
These fungi are taxonomically challenging, with a complex and rapidly changing nomenclature which has perplexed many nonmycologists (and some mycologists, too).
Most mycologists recommend against eating this mushroom because it is difficult to distinguish from poisonous species.
Promotion of the career of younger mycologists is a major concern.
He helped amateur mycologists correctly identify fungal specimens during his weekends.
Many mycologists do not recognize the distinction; however, several molecular studies have demonstrated that they are two distinct genera, with clear morphological differences.
For this reason, mycologists are unique among those who study extant organisms in using a dual system of nomenclature.
Mycologists have discovered action potentials in fungi but it is not currently known if they are related to thigmonasty.
