Alan is a mycologist specializing in DNA barcoding, field photography, and fungal microscopy. He has photographed more than 3,000 species of fungi since 2001 and regularly leads forays across North and South America, both to document new species and to draw newcomers into the field. He spent sixteen years studying mushroom diversity in Mexico, and is a co-author on several scientific papers, including the descriptions of new bioluminescent Mycena species and new Psilocybe species. Alan is also among the most prolific identifiers in the online mycology community, having identified more than 400,000 observations on platforms such as iNaturalist and Mushroom Observer.

I do a lot of mushroom ID's - if you have any questions about why I used the name I did, don't hesitate to ask.
