2017 Summary:
The goals of this project are to study the diversity and distribution of the genus Hebeloma and other fungi from the Hymenogastraceae family; to explore the ecology of this ectomycorrhizal family which are important for forest health and a range of local ecosystem services; and, to assemble a more complete phylogeny of the family that will in turn further understanding of the evolution and develop...

Summary:
Roots of plants inhabiting cold-stressed environments are often colonized by vegetatively reproducing fungi. The researcher will examine the genetic variation within and among populations of Phialocephala fortinii P. along a latitudinal gradient encompassing the boreal, subarctic and arctic zones in Northern Canada. The researcher will travel from Yellowknife to 3 study sites surrounding Great ...

1992 Summary:
I will be collecting lichens in the vicinity of Iqaluit in order to better understand the variety of species that grow in the high arctic. Some species of fungi grow with algae: these partnerships are recognized as lichens. In an attempt to study this partnership, I will separate the fungi part from the algae and grow each separately in a laboratory. I will also be visiting Greenland and Icelan...
