Mark your calendars!
Middle Atlantic States Mycology Conference (MASMC 2010)
The annual Middle Atlantic States Mycology Conference has taken place every spring since 1979. MASMC meetings also coincide with the appearance of many spring fungi including Morchella spp. This meeting provides new students, postdocs, and mycologists the opportunity to present their research findings and obtain inputs from learned colleagues, in a less formal venue than larger national and international meetings. This year’s MASMC and morel foray (go morels!) will be hosted April 9-11 by your friends at North Carolina A&T State University. Registration forms and instructions for presenters are now available on the MASMC 20120 web site (www.fungbiotech.com/masmc2010). Registration is due by March 26. Both oral and poster presentations are welcome. For additional information, please contact: Dr. Omon. S. Isikhuemhen (email: omon@ncat.edu), Natural Resources & Environmental Design Department, North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC 27411. We look forward to seeing you in Greensboro this spring!

It is time to get serious about symposia and workshops for the joint meeting of the Mycological Society of America (MSA) and of the International Symposium on Fungal Endophytes of Grasses (ISFEG), June 28-July 1, 2010 in Kentucky.
The theme for this meeting is symbioses and we are particularly interested in proposals around this theme. The deadline for receiving proposals for symposia and workshops is November 15, 2009. Proposals can be sent via electronic mail to any of the following members of the program committee: Tom Horton <trhorton@esf.edu>, Fred Spiegel <fspiegel@uark.edu>, or Andrew Miller <amiller@inhs.uiuc.edu>.
To propose a symposium or workshop, please provide the following information:
- your name and email address, including contact information for all organizers,
- a title of the workshop or symposium,
- a brief summary of why this topic is particularly timely or appropriate,
- a tentative list of speakers (maximum of six),
- time and length for the symposium or workshop,
- facilities required,
- anticipated attendance,
- if funding is requested, and
- possibilities for sponsorship.
Also, please indicate whether the proposed symposium or workshop will involve/interest only MSA members or both MSA and ISFEG members.

We’re happy to announce that MYCOLOGIA has launched a publish ahead of print feature on our HighWire site. Subscribers can now view articles that have been accepted and copy edited about 8 weeks before they will appear in print. Articles will be formally published as soon as they are posted online and will have a DOI assigned. Prepublication articles will be replaced with updated versions until the final print version is published.

Dear Colleagues
I wanted to let you know about a new class that is being offered next year through the Gulf Coast Research Lab’s Summer Field Program. I will be teaching a class on marine fungi that will introduce marine fungi and emphasize collection, isolation and identification techniques. This class can be taken for credit by undergraduate and graduate students. It will also benefit amateur mycologists, field biologists, and researchers who are interested in learning new skills for pursuing academic, career-related or independent studies of fungi.
The class is offered from July 27 to August 7, 2009. Please see the flier for more information.

The National Parks Service and US Environmental Protection Agency are working on a model to predict plant responses to nitrogen deposition and climate change. Please contact Katie Becklin (kmb5p9@mizzou.edu) if you have information regarding the mycorrhizal status and/or responsiveness of alpine, subalpine, or arctic plant species that you are willing to share. This is an initial effort at modeling global change effects in North America. Your help and contributions would be much appreciated.

A Mycology Education Mart has just been established in parallel to the existing Lichenology Mart, where all relevant courses that you want highlighted in order to attract students can be posted.
Students can browse these worldwide course listings for educational opportunities.
It can be found at: http://www2.bio.ku.dk/mycology/courses/
