Campus Champion

In his nearly 40 years at the College, SUNY Distinguished Professor Timothy Baroni has received too many awards and honors to name, recognizing his excellence in teaching, scholarship and biology. A Fellow of the Mycological Society of America and author of books and articles on mushroom identification, he enjoys a leading reputation in the international mycology community. So it’s no surprise that when an expert was needed to save the life of a patient admitted to a local hospital after eating a poisonous mushroom, Baroni was called. Read how our Campus Champion got to the bottom of this fungi fiasco.
