Special Topic Awards

Since 2018 a very generous anonymous donor has contributed funds to MSA to support research by our members. The donor is passionate about forests and translational mycology and we have respected their wishes by sponsoring special calls for proposals that contribute to a greater understanding of fungal interactions in old growth forests, other unique or endangered ecosystems, or applied mycology. In this issue of Inoculum we provide a snapshot of the diverse research projects undertaken in the context of these awards, with a primary focus on 2019 awards targeting applied mycology. Enjoy, and to our donor: Thank you!

Anne Pringle, Past President
