BAZZICALUPO, ANNA

As a PhD student at the University of British Columbia, I am interested in the taxonomy and systematics of Russula of the Pacific Northwest. One aspect of my work I would like to share involves using this complicated group as an example of collaboration between mycological societies and academia, towards the better understanding of the systematics and taxonomy of our local mushrooms. More specifically, I have been working on the Benjamin Woo Russula collection from the Burke Museum, to barcode the Russulas of the Pacific Northwest.
