The annual Middle Atlantic States Mycology Conference invites regional mycologists to present research findings, share stories, and discuss current mycology. These meetings especially provide new students and postdocs an opportunity to present their research findings in a less formal venue than larger national and international meetings. This year's MASMC and morel foray is hosted this year by your friends at Duke University, Durham NC.

We'll be posting updates on MASMC08 on this web page, and we'll look forward to seeing in Durham this spring!
