Well, as most of you know, I am heading off for more mycological adventures this month. On this trip I am headed to the South Pacific island of Pohnpei, the largest and wettest of more than 600 islands that make up the Federated States of Micronesia (or FSM). Traveling with Dennis and Thomas, we will be documenting the fungi that occur on the island as part of a multi-disciplinary study of the flora, fungi, habitat complexity and stream biology of both Pohnpei and Kosrae. This study is being led by researchers from the New York Botanical Garden, and funded by the National Science Foundation (your tax dollars at work!). I am not certain how frequent or reliable our internet access will be once we reach the island, but I know there are several internet cafes in Kolonia, ther main town on Pohnpei, so I hope to make somewhat regular posts to this blog. Check back every once in a while to see if I have uploaded anything new!
