DNA: The Secret History of Mushrooms

Danny Miller is the Education Chair for the Puget Sound Mycological Society, helping to design and teach the curriculum for the club's mycology classes. He is also the club Librarian, ID Committee coordinator and an emergency poisoning point person for King County Washington Poison Control. He also belongs to the PNW Key Council, a group of amateur and professional mycologists, and is a co-author of MycoMatch (formerly MatchMaker) with Ian Gibson, the free PNW mushroom ID program for the PC. Danny’s interest in taxonomy is vast, and figuring out where all of the mushrooms fit into the fungal tree of life, while also working to collect the DNA of every PNW species to determine which still need names.
