Hello, I’d like to request that CMS keep an eye out for wild golden oysters for me (Pleurotus citrinopileatus). I’m a grad student at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, and I’m collecting North American specimens to do some population genetics in an attempt to trace their naturalization from Asia. So far, I’ve only heard of wild specimens being found in the Midwest to the Northeast– all the more reason why I’d be particularly interested in specimens you all find! I’m requesting dried specimens, spore prints on aluminum foil, collection date and location, and any additional information that may be helpful if known (e.g. any known mushroom cultivators in the area, proximity to town or farmers markets). Specimens can be sent to: Receiving Stores Biology Department ATTN: Andi Bruce 855 East Ave. North La Crosse, WI 54601 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. If there is someone else that you think I ought to contact, please let me know. Thanks in advance for keeping an eye out! Related
