I'm fascinated by all forms of biodiversity, but I mostly study the taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology of macrofungi (particularly of California). With the barely-granted exception of fungi, I plead that my identifications be viewed with the presumption of ignorance.

@tiwane helped produce this video, where I talk about tips for making good mushroom observations:
Tips for Observing Fungi for iNaturalist

Seeking to misspend what remains of my youth, then do the same for my oldth, all the while keeping my brain bathed in biodiversity and general novelty.
