	Fungal & Plant Biology My research focuses on the population biology, genetics, and ecology of fungi and related organisms. I have experience working with slime molds, trichomycetes, gasteromycetes, plant pathogenic fungi, and wood-decay fungi. I am particularly interested in the consequences of intra- and interspecific interactions among fungi, as well as their associations with other organisms. Current research efforts are devoted toward understanding dispersal and reproductive strategies in gasteromycetes (e.g., bird's nest fungi, puffballs, and stinkhorns) on population structure in these fungi.
