I'm an avid naturalist, and the Education director of the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club. I love to learn about micro-habitats and behavioral patterns of flora and fauna alike. As much as I enjoy finding biota that I haven't seen before, I also take pleasure in the common native species and their interactions with the world around them. My biological interests are constantly evolving, but I currently take pleasure in studying Fungi (especially small Ascos), Mycetozoa, Lepidoptera, Odonates, and wildflowers.
