Faculty/Staff Detail

Timothy J. Baroni, Biological Sciences Department, with co-authors Keri Kluting, University of Uppsala, and Sarah Bergemann, Middle State Tennessee University, published a peer-reviewed paper titled “Toward a Stable Classification of Genera within the Entolomataceae: a Phylogenetic Re-evaluation of the Rhodocybe-Clitopilus Clade” in the journal Mycologia. Molecular evidence was used to sort out relationships among five genera and nearly 300 species. The publication was the result of Kluting’s master’s thesis at Middle State Tennessee University. Baroni served as a mentor for the project and was on Kluting’s guidance committee for the master’s degree.
