Exploring the mushroom diversity of New Brunswick
with Alfredo Justo, Ph.D., Curator of Botany and Mycology, NB Museum

Like in other parts of North America, many species of mushrooms occurring in New Brunswick are still waiting to be collected and described, and a good number of the supposedly common species are still hiding under incorrect European names or have not been yet named at all. In this talk, Dr. Justo will explore the mushroom research program conducted at the New Brunswick Museum, which highlights the great importance of collection-based research, and contributions from local groups of naturalists and citizen scientists.
