Collecting Mushrooms and Other Fungi

UW botany senior Elizabeth (Eli) Kristy is our fungal expert. The collections she has made in Yangjuan are just part of her mycological work in China; she is also working in Zoige county in the ethnically Tibtan part of nortwestern Sichuan. Here Eli prepares a label for one of her specimens.
Eli made a thorough collection of every fungus she could find in Yangjuan, including these little, as yet unidentfied specimens found on a wooden structure. She also wrote a brief analysis of the relations between human ecology and the types of fungi found here.
