    Research Interests:

    My research centers around organisms in the kingdom Eumycota (Fungi):

  • documenting diversity of lichenized and non-lichenized macrofungi present in the Southwestern United States

  • documenting spore ultrastructure in gasteroid fungi using scanning electron microscopy

  • examining diversity of fungi associated with biological crusts in arid lands using traditional and molecular techniques for community analysis

  • molecular and classical systematics of the gasteroid fungi in the families Lycoperdaceae and Geastraceae
