Mushrooms of Madagascar

For my work as a graduate student in the Desjardin Lab at San Francisco State University, in collaboration with the California Academy of Sciences Madagascar Biodiversity Center, I am traveling to the rainforests of Madagascar to seek new species in the genus Marasmius. Join me as I discover and seek new tiny mushrooms and learn about the wonderful country of Madagascar! If you are reading this for the first time, I suggest starting from the first blog posted and working back that way.

Hello world!

My name is Jackie Shay and I am starting this blog (my first ever) to document my time in Madagascar collecting a tiny mushroom that I think you will just love! I am leaving in six hours and I am excited with butterflies in my stomach.

I hope you will enjoy joining me on this adventure on my blog. Please stay tuned for gorgeous pictures, and descriptions of my journey and the wonderful mushrooms I find.

Yours in spores,

Jackie
