I'm a Tennessee-based field mycologist. I've paid attention to mushrooms since 2010 and am generally interested in

• practicing visual ID, especially for North American agarics
• following updates in phylogeny, taxonomy, and nomenclature
• improving common names and embedding them in a useful "folk taxonomy".
  
  

Current activities:

• Upcoming field guide Mushroom Finder.
• Keeping track of the genus-level names of agarics and Agaricales, with updates on their taxonomic placements, nomenclatural status, sequencing status, etc. at agaric.us. My thoughts and suggestions for mushroom common names are there too.
• A program I wrote for copying observations from Mushroom Observer to iNaturalist is available. Contact me here or anywhere if you need help using it.
• Working on a possible future guide to mushrooms of Southern California.
  
  

Past activities:

• A compendium of generic names of agarics and Agaricales
• Audubon Society - Mushrooms of North America (text author)
• NSF "Research Experience for Post-Baccalaureate Students" - 538 mushroom collections in 10 states for Brandon Matheny's lab at the University of Tennessee, with a focus on Inocybaceae
• Hexagon Bio - soil sampling in 6 states, featuring tree ID with a mycological angle
