 **Luis Quijada  
Farlow Fellow  
Harvard University**

 **Title**: Tales of Leotiomycetes

 Dr. Quijada will share three stories about "fairy cups" and other cup fungi:

- A fungus that has never been found in its natural environment
- The yellow fairy cup -- everyone thinks they know who I am, but they don't!
- Apothecial ancestry and evolution in the order Thelebolales

 These three topics will lead to discussions of host-specificity, ecology, and systematics of a fungus found only outside of the distribution range of it host-plant. The difficulty of persuading researchers or amateur mycologists to use the correct name for some fungi when they only consider a few morphological characters rather than taking into account the entire life cycle (teleomorphs-anamorphs). Finally, we will show you the results of our most recent study on the evolution of the members of a new family, as well as how fruitbodies traits are linked to different dispersal or ecological lifestyles.
