Let's get as many members as possible to this event, and introduce some nerds to the world of mycology. Come out, learn, have some fun, and support the MST! There will be lots of MST promotional buttons and stickers to take home, too.
The April 25th meeting is the MST's Annual General Meeting. At the AGM, the business of the previous year is reviewed, resolutions for the upcoming year are decided, and MST members elect the incoming Board of Directors.
The society has many more members than this time last year, and all members have a voice and a vote - so if you're interested in influencing the activities and the future direction of the MST, please attend!
Copies of George Barron's recently-reprinted field guide Mushrooms of Ontario and Eastern Canada will be on sale at the meeting. This is the MST's recommended field guide for Ontario and has been very hard to find in past years. We'll also have MST whistles, stickers and buttons available!
Simona Margaritescu's presentation A First Glance at Fungal Diversity in the Brazilian Amazon is now available to MST members to watch on the meetings video page.
Simona Margaritescu is the Mycology Technician in the Department of Natural History at the Royal Ontario Museum. She manages the ROM’s fungal herbarium (TRTC) and is responsible for the operations of the Mycology Molecular Laboratory.
