The family Pluteaceae (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in North America: a decade of molecular studies

Dr. Alfredo Justo is the Curator of Botany & Mycology at the New Brunswick Museum (Saint John, Canada). He oversees the curation and growth of the NBM Herbarium, which comprises over 100,000 specimens of plants, fungi, lichens, bryophytes and algae from New Brunswick and neighboring regions. His research focuses on the fungal diversity of Atlantic Canada, while maintaining ongoing global taxonomic research on selected genera of mushrooms. Dr. Justo’s research merges morphology-based and molecular methods to study the origin, evolution and current status of fungal biodiversity, especially across North America.
