Catalog of Fungal
Collections from the Herbarium
of
Roger D. Goos
Dr. Roger D. Goos, Professor Emeritus of Botany at the University of Rhode Island, donated his fungal herbarium to The New York Botanical Garden in 1995. Dr. Goos received his M.S. and Ph.D. in mycology from the University of Iowa under the supervision of George W. Martin and Constantine J. Alexopoulos respectively. Throughout his career, his research was focused on helicosporous Hyphomycetes, a group characterized by a coiled conidia, and the Meliolales. He also documented the mushrooms of Rhode Island.
The Garden is very pleased to have incorporated Dr. Goos' herbarium into ours. These specimens have been cataloged into our electronic database and are now available for searching on the World Wide Web. The Catalog contains 306 records.
