Distinguished Mycologist: Donald T. Wicklow
MSA Distinction Awards – 2016
Arora has made outstanding contributions to the field of mycology. His contributions are especially impressive given that his knowledge of mushrooms was largely self-taught. His undergraduate degree from
the University of California, Santa Cruz was in creative writing, and this training shows through in his publications. Mushrooms Demystified, Arora’s biggest book, has had a dramatic impact on the field. One of the reasons it has been so popular is that the keys work and his pervasive humor makes the book fun to read. Although the first edition was initially not well received by professional mycologists, it be-came very popular. The second edition, which greatly expanded the coverage, was used widely in many mushroom courses on the West Coast, including those previously offered by Joe Ammirati, Tom Bruns, Bill Denison, and David Largent. Even today it remains one of the most useful and comprehensive field guides available. His later book, All the Rain Promises and More: a Hip-pocket Field Guide, a more ab-breviated image-rich book, has also become very popular.
In the peer-reviewed literature, he edited a special issue of Economic Botany (2008 62(3)) on mush-room collecting around the world and contributed several chapters it. His advocacy for mushroom col-lecting and his personal experiences with collecting throughout the world shines through in this work. In addition he has described several new species of Amanita, Cantharellus, and Boletus, and helped
erect the new genus Butyriboletus and describe several species in it. As a teacher and lecturer Arora has had an enormous influence. He has
taught courses on mushroom identification since his undergraduate days at Santa Cruz, and a large number of West Coast mushroom enthusiasts have been influenced by his classes. He is also a sought-after lecturer at mushroom clubs around the world. His talks are full of stories based on his experiences with collecting and collectors, and they are laced with a warm, self-depreciating humor that make his stories come alive. Our field has benefited from his efforts, and he is an ideal exemplar of the Wasson Award.
Wasson Award: David Arora
Dr. Wicklow has over 45 years of research expe-rience and has published over 200 journal arti-cles, 24 book chapters, 3 books, 12 patents, and
has presented 36 invited papers at national/ international meetings on subjects pertaining to fungal ecology, plant pathology and mycotoxins. Some of this work was / is supported, in part, through awards from the NSF (1973-1984; 1989-2013), the Competitive Research Grants Office, USDA (1984-86), the Biotechnology Research and Devel-opment Corporation (BRDC) (1990-2002), Eli Lilly (1999-2001), and the National Insti-tutes of Health (NIH) (2004-2008). Dr. Wicklow was the first to demonstrate the role of the fungal sclerotium in Aspergillus flavus disease cycle; sap beetle vectoring of A. flavus to corn; sclerotial chemical defenses targeted against insect fungivores; novel antifungal metabolites from mycoparasites that kill A. flavus sclerotia; pyrrocidine antibiotics from a protective endophyte of maize; the significance of high-evening temperature stress (> 75 F) during kernel filling in aflatoxin outbreaks; seed coat tearing among certain elite inbred parents of commercial hybrids is a major factor in aflatoxin susceptibility. Dr. Wicklow’s reputation as a mycologist (microbial ecologist) is evidenced by his receiving the C.J.Alexo-poulous Prize from the Mycological Society of America, selection to Fellowship in the Amer-ican Academy of Microbiology and to Centenary Fellowship (Honorary Life Member) in the British Mycological Society. The fungus Wicklowia aquatica was recently named in his honor “fot outstanding studies of the nature and role of fungal secondary compounds.”

Alexopoulus Prize for Outstanding Early-Career Mycologist: Matthew Smith
42
Dr. Matthew Smith received his Ph.D. in 2006 from The Univer-sity of California at Davis under the supervision of Dr. David M. Rizzo. He then conducted postdoctoral research at UC
Davis until 2007 with Dr. Bruce Jaffee, at Harvard University (Farlow Herbarium) with Dr. Donald Pfister until 2009, and at Duke University with Drs. Rytas Vilgalys and Terry Henkel (California State University at Humboldt) as co-advisors. In 2011 he started his own laboratory at the University of Florida, as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and as the Curator of the Fungal Herbarium at the Florida Museum of Natural History and the University of Florida Her-barium (FLAS). Dr. Smith’s research productivity and excellence in
the field of mycorrhizal ecology and systematics is stellar. He has already more than 70 publications, 39 of which he is the first or last author. Several of these papers “…are already considered to be major ‘classics’ in mycology – a notable example is his 2011 review article with Drs Leho Tedersoo and Tom May on the phylogenetic lineages of mycorrhizal fungi (published in New Phytologist).” He is also “…a fantastic field mycologist and has a command of several groups of hypogeous fungi – ascomycetes, basidiomycetes and zygomycetes.” The combination of such an extensive taxonomic and cross-dis-ciplinary expertise is truly exceptional, and is reflected by his outstanding record of grantsmanship, especially at such an early stage of his career, with four NSF awards as PI or co-PI.
Dr. A. Elizabeth “Betsy” Arnold received her Ph.D. in 2002 from The Universi-ty of Arizona, went on to do postdoctoral research at Duke University, and then returned to Arizona where she is now Professor in the School of Plant Sciences, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and also Director of the Rob-ert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium. Dr. Arnold is known worldwide for her leadership and prolific research career on fungal endophytes. Her dedication and contribution to the education of mycology has been as spectacular as her research career. Betsy Arnold’s teaching has made lasting impressions on a tremendous number of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students both at her home institution but also across the United States and abroad. In addition to regular coursework, as the director of the Robert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium, Dr. Arnold interacts and educates the public about fungi by taking the time to identify specimens brought in by the public and explaining the process of fungal identification as well as providing insight about the ecology of each species. She has lead large-scale outreach programs includ-ing the Navajo Nation, organizing bioblitz and high school fungal sampling activities, and involvement with the Fungal Environmental sampling and Informatics Network. This is in addition to have super-vised eight postdoctoral researchers, ten graduate students, and more than 100 undergraduate students for independent studies, internships and honors theses combined. Both graduate and undergraduate students highlighted her commitment and inspiring dynamism as an educator. An undergraduate stu-dent wrote: “Thinking back on all my past teachers and mentors, none have had such and important and lasting impression on me as Dr. Arnold.” It “…changed the course of my undergraduate career and my future career goals…and led me to take additional courses in mycology and plant pathology.” The ex-traordinary contribution to mycology by Dr. Elizabeth “Betsy” Arnold as a top-notch researcher, mentor and teacher more than fulfill the requirements for the MSA’s William H. Weston Teaching Award, it sets new standards and goals for the mycological community.

BACK COVERMSA Fellow: Dr. François Lutzoni
Professor, Department of Biology at Duke University
Lutzoni asks broad and compelling questions about lichen systematics and evolution. He is one of MSA’s most successful advocates for collaborative re-search that broadly enriches our discipline. He has, for example, spearhead-
ed a 2015 NSF GoLife Collaborative grant to study Pezizomycotina involving five universities; a 2010 NSF Dimensions of Biodiversity grant to study endophytes with collaborators involving four universities, and 2003 and 2007 Assembling the Tree of Life grants with numerous collaborators across 11 universities. Lutzoni organizes stimulating international symposia, such as ‘Evolution of Lichen Symbioses, which will be part of the 8th International Association for Lichenology Symposium in Hel-sinki this August and ‘Evolution, ecology and genetics of specificity in fungal symbi-oses’ for IMC10 in Bangkok, Thailand. Lutzoni has excelled in supporting graduate students and he provides postdoctoral researchers with opportunities to do superb research leading to faculty positions. He is a val-ued editor and among a long list of responsible positions with journals he served as an Associ-ate Editor for Mycologia for 7 years and for Mo-lecular Phylogenetics and Evolution from 2003 to present. He served on MSA Distinctions and Student Awards committees. Through his ser-vice contributions and his research leadership in training and collaboration, Lutzoni is bringing widespread attention to evolutionary lichenolo-gy and mycology as exciting and dynamic fields.

How to prepare the academic job application for a tenure track position in the sciences
Clark Kerr Room 102
Although students receive detailed scientific training throughout their gradu-ate career, very little professional guidance is provided on how to improve their success of securing a tenure-track position in academia after earning a PhD. The MSA Student Section proposes to organize a professional development work-shop geared towards graduate students and postdocs who are actively preparing job applications for tenure-track positions in the sciences. The workshop will be limited to 30 participants and will provide guidance on how to prepare the academic job application, how to prepare for (and what to expect in) the aca-demic job interview, how to negotiate once a position is offered, and tips/advice for starting up a new lab. The workshop will be led by a diverse panel of experts at various stages in their career ranging from new assistant professors to tenured professors from both small liberal arts colleges and research institutions. This workshop will provide a forum for early career scientists to learn about the ten-ure-track job application process from start to finish. A mixer where participants can network, socialize, and interact with panelists will follow the workshop.

MSA Honorary Member: Dr. Barbara HowlettProfessor, School of Botany, University of Melbourne, Australia
Howlett grew up on a sheep farm in Australia and a first job was hoeing out saffron thistle to improve pasture land. This early exposure to applied biology may have influenced the trajectory of her scientific career. While she is an internation-
al leader in genomic and molecular biological approaches to research in plant microbe interactions, her work is also grounded in close attention to practical solutions to plant disease caused by the black leg pathogen of canola. The success of her combined pure and applied approaches is reflected in her funding history; Howlett has received over $15 million in funding from Australian Research Council and Grains Research and Develop-ment Council. Her papers are cited extensively and she has trained over 17 PhD students.
Howlett emphasized the synergy of applied and pure research in her Karling lecture to the MSA in 2013, explaining how understanding of the biology of resistance of the canola plant (shown in Prof. Howlett’s left hand) to the black leg fungus Leptosphaeria macu-lans (in the Petri dish in Prof. Howlett’s right hand) allowed farmers to avoid catastrophic crop loss. To give a sense of the breadth of her research interests, she and her students cloned and characterized the genes responsible for producing the toxin sirodesmin and published the results in 2004 in Molecular Microbiology. This was the first time genes for secondary metabolites of the general epipolythiodioxopiperazine class had been charac-terized, and the discovery let to a series of papers analyzing the distribution of this and other important toxins. In a paper in Nature Communications, Howlett and her students and colleagues analyzed the genome of the black leg fungus, and showed that effectors are associated with transposable elements in AT rich blocks in the genome. The associa-tion with transposition may explain why the fungus can rapidly evolve to overcome host resistance.
Dr. Howlett plays a leading role in the fungal biology community as is evident from her election to serve in 2013 as Chair of the Policy Committee that oversaw the organization of the 27th Fungal Genetics Conference in Asilomar California. She has been an Editorial Board member for journals including Eukaryotic Cell and PLoS One, and was Senior Ed-itor for Molecular Plant Pathology from 2005-2011. Howlett is an Inaugural Robert Lipp Plant Science Memorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne. She is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, an honor reserved for the most outstanding international microbiologists. In 2014, she became an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.
To quote from a letter of nomination:“...Dr. Barbara Howlett has myriad accomplishments and contribu-tions to science that would bring a very high level of rigor, integrity, and energy to the MSA as an Honorary Member. She has been recognized in quite visible ways as a leader in her field, and one who is frequently and increasingly invited to give plenary and keynote lectures, precisely because what she has learned and what she has to say informs the entire field focused on interactions of fungal pathogens with a host. In summary, from my perspective Dr. Barbara Howlett is simply an excep-tional nomination for an Honorary Mycologist of the Mycological Society of America and also someone whom I know you will look back on as having been a prescient choice for this distinction.”

Arturo Casadevall received both his MD and PhD (biochemistry) degrees from New York University in New York, NY. Subse-quently, he completed internship and res-idency in internal medicine at Bellevue
Hospital in New York, NY. Later he completed subspe-cialty training in Infectious Diseases at the Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Casadevall has received many honors, including elec-tion to the US National Academy of Medicine, the Amer-ican Academy of Physicians, and the American Academy of Microbiology. Dr. Casadevall is the Editor-in-Chief of mBio, the first open access general journal of the American Society of Microbiology and serves in the editorial board of several others. He has served in numerous NIH committees including those that drafted the NIAID Strategic Plan and the Blue Ribbon Panel on Biodefense Research. Dr. Casadevall served on the NAS committee that reviewed the science behind the FBI investigation of the anthrax attacks in 2001. He served for nine years on the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity and co-chairs the NIAID Board of Scien-tific counselors. In addition, Dr. Casadevall has been leading the nation’s approach to science, scientific misconduct, and promotion of women and underrepresented minorities.
Dr. Casadevall’s research is focused on two fundamental questions: First, how do microbes cause disease? Second, how do hosts, such as humans, protect themselves against microbes? To address these large questions, his laboratory has a multidisciplinary research program span-ning several areas of basic immunology and microbiology. A major focus of the laboratory is the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, a ubiquitous environmental microbe that is a frequent cause of disease in individuals with impaired immunity. The fungus causes lung infection, including a particularly dangerous fungal meningitis observed primarily in immune-compro-mised patients such as those with AIDS. Many of the laboratory’s projects seek to understand how hosts defend against C. neoformans and how the Cryptococcus organism’s virulence contributes to disease. For example, melanin production in C. neoformans, is associated with virulence. Melanin is a pigment with an undefined chemical structure and tremendous phys-ical stability. This pigment accumulates in the cell wall of C. neoformans and allows growth and budding to occur. But melanin research also has wide reach: an antibody to fungal melanin made in the Casadevall laboratory is currently in evaluation for the treatment of melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

MSA Nomenclature WorkshopPresented by Scott A. Redhead, Sunday, 7 Aug. 2016, Clark Kerr 203, 2PM–5PM
Chair of the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (Nomenclature Section of the International Botanical Congress)
This is a 3 hour-long hands-on-workshop with the aim of training mycologists how to use the In-ternational Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (the 2015 Melbourne Code, or ICN). The ICN is available online at: http://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/main.php except for the Appen-dices II-VIII that list conserved and rejected names and publications. Part of the workshop will outline the history of the development of the ICN which is necessary to explain because there are series of critical dates within it when requirements change. The session will also explain why there should be a Code. The second half will walk through several discussions of real life situations in-terpreting past publications, the handling of one name for one fungus because of changes to Article 59, the current requirements for valid publication of a new name, citation of types and use of cul-tures versus specimens or illustrations as types and the term epitype. Complications arising out of registration, electronic publication and citation of advanced copies (nomenclatural interpretation of prepublication, online version of record versus proof, and pagination when none are provided). Finally, further changes are coming and we will look ahead at what might be discussed and voted on at International Mycological Congresses versus International Botanical Congresses, and how mycologist are taking charge of mycological nomenclature but must simultaneously synchronize fungal nomenclature with that for other organisms in a digital age.

Program At-a-Glance #MYCO2016
If you are giving a talk, please arrive 15 minutes before the start of your ses-sion to coordinate with the session chair and load talks onto a single com-puter. A Mac and projector will be available in every room where there is a session.If you are presenting a poster, please post it as soon as you like and leave it up for the duration of the meeting. Presenters of ODD number posters should stand by their posters from 4-5:30PM during the poster session 8/8. Presenters of EVEN number posters should stand by their posters from 4-5:30PM during the poster ses-sion on 8/9. See map on pg. 45
Most meals will be served at Clark Kerr’s Dining Area, ex-
cept for the Food Truck reception, which will be found along
the main drive to the campus. The Banquet & Auction will
be at U.C. Berkeley’s Faculty Club (see pg. 46). The Club is
a 10-15 minute walk from Clark Kerr, so please plan accord-
ingly. The Business Lunch and Awards Ceremony will be in Krutch Theater
Vans for the Sunday fieldtrips will depart from the Horseshoe Drive entrance at 8:30 AM (Forest Pathology/Pt Reyes); 8:30 AM (Monterey Mushroom Farm/Watsonville);
and 9:00 AM (Napa Valley Wine Tasting). Please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
For the Forest Pathology trip be prepared for hot or cool weather as coastal weather can be difficult to predict at this time of year. Long pants are suggested because poison
oak is common. The weather at Napa and Watsonville is likely to be hot and sunny.

The UC & Jepson herbaria harbor about 2.2 million specimens, with a strong focus on CA. The fungal collection makes up around 75,000 specimens. The macrofungal collections are already databased in the Mycoportal, data on the microfungi are being add-ed. The tour will highlight some of the characteristic collections and articles from the archive, showcasing
the diversity of the collection and the diversity of California’s mycota. There is a limit of 10 peo-ple, but a second tour at 3-4:30 may be available according to interest

MSA Nomenclature WorkshopPresented by Scott A. Redhead, Sunday, 7 Aug. 2016, Clark Kerr 203, 2PM–5PM
Chair of the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (Nomenclature Section of the International Botanical Congress)
This is a 3 hour-long hands-on-workshop with the aim of training mycologists how to use the In-ternational Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (the 2015 Melbourne Code, or ICN). The ICN is available online at: http://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/main.php except for the Appen-dices II-VIII that list conserved and rejected names and publications. Part of the workshop will outline the history of the development of the ICN which is necessary to explain because there are series of critical dates within it when requirements change. The session will also explain why there should be a Code. The second half will walk through several discussions of real life situations in-terpreting past publications, the handling of one name for one fungus because of changes to Article 59, the current requirements for valid publication of a new name, citation of types and use of cul-tures versus specimens or illustrations as types and the term epitype. Complications arising out of registration, electronic publication and citation of advanced copies (nomenclatural interpretation of prepublication, online version of record versus proof, and pagination when none are provided). Finally, further changes are coming and we will look ahead at what might be discussed and voted on at International Mycological Congresses versus International Botanical Congresses, and how mycologist are taking charge of mycological nomenclature but must simultaneously synchronize fungal nomenclature with that for other organisms in a digital age.

AGARICUS of NORTH AMERICA
RICHARD W. KERRIGAN
NYBG Press is pleased to announce the availability of Agaricus of North America by Richard W. Kerrigan. This volume, the result of 40 years of work by the author, will serve as an authoritative yet accessible sourcebook for the specialist and interested amateur alike. Filled with nearly 300 color images to help identify 180+ species, Kerrigan provides “how” and “why” explanations with technical details in a simple layout that offers clear de-scriptions and notable features for each species treated. Kerrigan’s unique perspective combines an evaluation of Agaricus diversity in natural ecosystems, supported by modern and historical collections, with technical de-scriptions either from his own notes or from herbarium collections. According to Kerrigan, “…this presentation bridges a gap between the typical specialist literature and the typical field guide, in a way that will interest many readers.”

Arturo Casadevall received both his MD and PhD (biochemistry) degrees from New York University in New York, NY. Subse-quently, he completed internship and res-idency in internal medicine at Bellevue
Hospital in New York, NY. Later he completed subspe-cialty training in Infectious Diseases at the Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Casadevall has received many honors, including elec-tion to the US National Academy of Medicine, the Amer-ican Academy of Physicians, and the American Academy of Microbiology. Dr. Casadevall is the Editor-in-Chief of mBio, the first open access general journal of the American Society of Microbiology and serves in the editorial board of several others. He has served in numerous NIH committees including those that drafted the NIAID Strategic Plan and the Blue Ribbon Panel on Biodefense Research. Dr. Casadevall served on the NAS committee that reviewed the science behind the FBI investigation of the anthrax attacks in 2001. He served for nine years on the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity and co-chairs the NIAID Board of Scien-tific counselors. In addition, Dr. Casadevall has been leading the nation’s approach to science, scientific misconduct, and promotion of women and underrepresented minorities.
Dr. Casadevall’s research is focused on two fundamental questions: First, how do microbes cause disease? Second, how do hosts, such as humans, protect themselves against microbes? To address these large questions, his laboratory has a multidisciplinary research program span-ning several areas of basic immunology and microbiology. A major focus of the laboratory is the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, a ubiquitous environmental microbe that is a frequent cause of disease in individuals with impaired immunity. The fungus causes lung infection, including a particularly dangerous fungal meningitis observed primarily in immune-compro-mised patients such as those with AIDS. Many of the laboratory’s projects seek to understand how hosts defend against C. neoformans and how the Cryptococcus organism’s virulence contributes to disease. For example, melanin production in C. neoformans, is associated with virulence. Melanin is a pigment with an undefined chemical structure and tremendous phys-ical stability. This pigment accumulates in the cell wall of C. neoformans and allows growth and budding to occur. But melanin research also has wide reach: an antibody to fungal melanin made in the Casadevall laboratory is currently in evaluation for the treatment of melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

MSA Honorary Member: Dr. Barbara HowlettProfessor, School of Botany, University of Melbourne, Australia
Howlett grew up on a sheep farm in Australia and a first job was hoeing out saffron thistle to improve pasture land. This early exposure to applied biology may have influenced the trajectory of her scientific career. While she is an internation-
al leader in genomic and molecular biological approaches to research in plant microbe interactions, her work is also grounded in close attention to practical solutions to plant disease caused by the black leg pathogen of canola. The success of her combined pure and applied approaches is reflected in her funding history; Howlett has received over $15 million in funding from Australian Research Council and Grains Research and Develop-ment Council. Her papers are cited extensively and she has trained over 17 PhD students.
Howlett emphasized the synergy of applied and pure research in her Karling lecture to the MSA in 2013, explaining how understanding of the biology of resistance of the canola plant (shown in Prof. Howlett’s left hand) to the black leg fungus Leptosphaeria macu-lans (in the Petri dish in Prof. Howlett’s right hand) allowed farmers to avoid catastrophic crop loss. To give a sense of the breadth of her research interests, she and her students cloned and characterized the genes responsible for producing the toxin sirodesmin and published the results in 2004 in Molecular Microbiology. This was the first time genes for secondary metabolites of the general epipolythiodioxopiperazine class had been charac-terized, and the discovery let to a series of papers analyzing the distribution of this and other important toxins. In a paper in Nature Communications, Howlett and her students and colleagues analyzed the genome of the black leg fungus, and showed that effectors are associated with transposable elements in AT rich blocks in the genome. The associa-tion with transposition may explain why the fungus can rapidly evolve to overcome host resistance.
Dr. Howlett plays a leading role in the fungal biology community as is evident from her election to serve in 2013 as Chair of the Policy Committee that oversaw the organization of the 27th Fungal Genetics Conference in Asilomar California. She has been an Editorial Board member for journals including Eukaryotic Cell and PLoS One, and was Senior Ed-itor for Molecular Plant Pathology from 2005-2011. Howlett is an Inaugural Robert Lipp Plant Science Memorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne. She is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, an honor reserved for the most outstanding international microbiologists. In 2014, she became an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.
To quote from a letter of nomination:“...Dr. Barbara Howlett has myriad accomplishments and contribu-tions to science that would bring a very high level of rigor, integrity, and energy to the MSA as an Honorary Member. She has been recognized in quite visible ways as a leader in her field, and one who is frequently and increasingly invited to give plenary and keynote lectures, precisely because what she has learned and what she has to say informs the entire field focused on interactions of fungal pathogens with a host. In summary, from my perspective Dr. Barbara Howlett is simply an excep-tional nomination for an Honorary Mycologist of the Mycological Society of America and also someone whom I know you will look back on as having been a prescient choice for this distinction.”

BACK COVERMSA Fellow: Dr. François Lutzoni
Professor, Department of Biology at Duke University
Lutzoni asks broad and compelling questions about lichen systematics and evolution. He is one of MSA’s most successful advocates for collaborative re-search that broadly enriches our discipline. He has, for example, spearhead-
ed a 2015 NSF GoLife Collaborative grant to study Pezizomycotina involving five universities; a 2010 NSF Dimensions of Biodiversity grant to study endophytes with collaborators involving four universities, and 2003 and 2007 Assembling the Tree of Life grants with numerous collaborators across 11 universities. Lutzoni organizes stimulating international symposia, such as ‘Evolution of Lichen Symbioses, which will be part of the 8th International Association for Lichenology Symposium in Hel-sinki this August and ‘Evolution, ecology and genetics of specificity in fungal symbi-oses’ for IMC10 in Bangkok, Thailand. Lutzoni has excelled in supporting graduate students and he provides postdoctoral researchers with opportunities to do superb research leading to faculty positions. He is a val-ued editor and among a long list of responsible positions with journals he served as an Associ-ate Editor for Mycologia for 7 years and for Mo-lecular Phylogenetics and Evolution from 2003 to present. He served on MSA Distinctions and Student Awards committees. Through his ser-vice contributions and his research leadership in training and collaboration, Lutzoni is bringing widespread attention to evolutionary lichenolo-gy and mycology as exciting and dynamic fields.

How to prepare the academic job application for a tenure track position in the sciences
Clark Kerr Room 102
Although students receive detailed scientific training throughout their gradu-ate career, very little professional guidance is provided on how to improve their success of securing a tenure-track position in academia after earning a PhD. The MSA Student Section proposes to organize a professional development work-shop geared towards graduate students and postdocs who are actively preparing job applications for tenure-track positions in the sciences. The workshop will be limited to 30 participants and will provide guidance on how to prepare the academic job application, how to prepare for (and what to expect in) the aca-demic job interview, how to negotiate once a position is offered, and tips/advice for starting up a new lab. The workshop will be led by a diverse panel of experts at various stages in their career ranging from new assistant professors to tenured professors from both small liberal arts colleges and research institutions. This workshop will provide a forum for early career scientists to learn about the ten-ure-track job application process from start to finish. A mixer where participants can network, socialize, and interact with panelists will follow the workshop.

Alexopoulus Prize for Outstanding Early-Career Mycologist: Matthew Smith
42
Dr. Matthew Smith received his Ph.D. in 2006 from The Univer-sity of California at Davis under the supervision of Dr. David M. Rizzo. He then conducted postdoctoral research at UC
Davis until 2007 with Dr. Bruce Jaffee, at Harvard University (Farlow Herbarium) with Dr. Donald Pfister until 2009, and at Duke University with Drs. Rytas Vilgalys and Terry Henkel (California State University at Humboldt) as co-advisors. In 2011 he started his own laboratory at the University of Florida, as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and as the Curator of the Fungal Herbarium at the Florida Museum of Natural History and the University of Florida Her-barium (FLAS). Dr. Smith’s research productivity and excellence in
the field of mycorrhizal ecology and systematics is stellar. He has already more than 70 publications, 39 of which he is the first or last author. Several of these papers “…are already considered to be major ‘classics’ in mycology – a notable example is his 2011 review article with Drs Leho Tedersoo and Tom May on the phylogenetic lineages of mycorrhizal fungi (published in New Phytologist).” He is also “…a fantastic field mycologist and has a command of several groups of hypogeous fungi – ascomycetes, basidiomycetes and zygomycetes.” The combination of such an extensive taxonomic and cross-dis-ciplinary expertise is truly exceptional, and is reflected by his outstanding record of grantsmanship, especially at such an early stage of his career, with four NSF awards as PI or co-PI.
Dr. A. Elizabeth “Betsy” Arnold received her Ph.D. in 2002 from The Universi-ty of Arizona, went on to do postdoctoral research at Duke University, and then returned to Arizona where she is now Professor in the School of Plant Sciences, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and also Director of the Rob-ert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium. Dr. Arnold is known worldwide for her leadership and prolific research career on fungal endophytes. Her dedication and contribution to the education of mycology has been as spectacular as her research career. Betsy Arnold’s teaching has made lasting impressions on a tremendous number of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students both at her home institution but also across the United States and abroad. In addition to regular coursework, as the director of the Robert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium, Dr. Arnold interacts and educates the public about fungi by taking the time to identify specimens brought in by the public and explaining the process of fungal identification as well as providing insight about the ecology of each species. She has lead large-scale outreach programs includ-ing the Navajo Nation, organizing bioblitz and high school fungal sampling activities, and involvement with the Fungal Environmental sampling and Informatics Network. This is in addition to have super-vised eight postdoctoral researchers, ten graduate students, and more than 100 undergraduate students for independent studies, internships and honors theses combined. Both graduate and undergraduate students highlighted her commitment and inspiring dynamism as an educator. An undergraduate stu-dent wrote: “Thinking back on all my past teachers and mentors, none have had such and important and lasting impression on me as Dr. Arnold.” It “…changed the course of my undergraduate career and my future career goals…and led me to take additional courses in mycology and plant pathology.” The ex-traordinary contribution to mycology by Dr. Elizabeth “Betsy” Arnold as a top-notch researcher, mentor and teacher more than fulfill the requirements for the MSA’s William H. Weston Teaching Award, it sets new standards and goals for the mycological community.

Distinguished Mycologist: Donald T. Wicklow
MSA Distinction Awards – 2016
Arora has made outstanding contributions to the field of mycology. His contributions are especially impressive given that his knowledge of mushrooms was largely self-taught. His undergraduate degree from
the University of California, Santa Cruz was in creative writing, and this training shows through in his publications. Mushrooms Demystified, Arora’s biggest book, has had a dramatic impact on the field. One of the reasons it has been so popular is that the keys work and his pervasive humor makes the book fun to read. Although the first edition was initially not well received by professional mycologists, it be-came very popular. The second edition, which greatly expanded the coverage, was used widely in many mushroom courses on the West Coast, including those previously offered by Joe Ammirati, Tom Bruns, Bill Denison, and David Largent. Even today it remains one of the most useful and comprehensive field guides available. His later book, All the Rain Promises and More: a Hip-pocket Field Guide, a more ab-breviated image-rich book, has also become very popular.
In the peer-reviewed literature, he edited a special issue of Economic Botany (2008 62(3)) on mush-room collecting around the world and contributed several chapters it. His advocacy for mushroom col-lecting and his personal experiences with collecting throughout the world shines through in this work. In addition he has described several new species of Amanita, Cantharellus, and Boletus, and helped
erect the new genus Butyriboletus and describe several species in it. As a teacher and lecturer Arora has had an enormous influence. He has
taught courses on mushroom identification since his undergraduate days at Santa Cruz, and a large number of West Coast mushroom enthusiasts have been influenced by his classes. He is also a sought-after lecturer at mushroom clubs around the world. His talks are full of stories based on his experiences with collecting and collectors, and they are laced with a warm, self-depreciating humor that make his stories come alive. Our field has benefited from his efforts, and he is an ideal exemplar of the Wasson Award.
Wasson Award: David Arora
Dr. Wicklow has over 45 years of research expe-rience and has published over 200 journal arti-cles, 24 book chapters, 3 books, 12 patents, and
has presented 36 invited papers at national/ international meetings on subjects pertaining to fungal ecology, plant pathology and mycotoxins. Some of this work was / is supported, in part, through awards from the NSF (1973-1984; 1989-2013), the Competitive Research Grants Office, USDA (1984-86), the Biotechnology Research and Devel-opment Corporation (BRDC) (1990-2002), Eli Lilly (1999-2001), and the National Insti-tutes of Health (NIH) (2004-2008). Dr. Wicklow was the first to demonstrate the role of the fungal sclerotium in Aspergillus flavus disease cycle; sap beetle vectoring of A. flavus to corn; sclerotial chemical defenses targeted against insect fungivores; novel antifungal metabolites from mycoparasites that kill A. flavus sclerotia; pyrrocidine antibiotics from a protective endophyte of maize; the significance of high-evening temperature stress (> 75 F) during kernel filling in aflatoxin outbreaks; seed coat tearing among certain elite inbred parents of commercial hybrids is a major factor in aflatoxin susceptibility. Dr. Wicklow’s reputation as a mycologist (microbial ecologist) is evidenced by his receiving the C.J.Alexo-poulous Prize from the Mycological Society of America, selection to Fellowship in the Amer-ican Academy of Microbiology and to Centenary Fellowship (Honorary Life Member) in the British Mycological Society. The fungus Wicklowia aquatica was recently named in his honor “fot outstanding studies of the nature and role of fungal secondary compounds.”
