Research Profiles

My passion for microfungi was sparked in my Forest Pathology class when I was a fourth-year student. I have since worked as a mycologist, specializing in fungal taxonomy. I have worked with various taxonomic groups of microscopic ascomycetes, the majority of which were tree and plant pathogens, soil fungi, insect-mediated fungi and litter fungi (saprophytes). Although I use both morphology and DNA sequencing to address taxonomic questions, my research benefits from a largely classical approach. I am currently involved in several projects investigating the taxonomic status of important tree pathogens in amongst others, the Cryphonectriaceae, the Microascales and Ophiostomatales.

I am also the curator of the FABI fungal culture collection (CMW), which houses more than 60 000 isolates. Most of the isolates originate from plant material, insects or soil, and are related to aspects of tree health. The isolates come from all over the world and are maintained under permit with restricted access.The collection is closed to the public, and used only for academic research. About 1 800 new isolates are deposited into the collection annually. 

The fynbos is a shrubland characterised by a fire-prone ecosystem and Mediterranean climate. Although it is extremely rich in plant species, and has a high degree of floral endemism, very little is known regarding the fungi in this unique and fascinating environment. This book contains the result of investigation of the saprobic microfungi that colonise and utilise leaf and twig litter and senescent flowerheads of Protea species in this environment. A total of 141 fungal species residing in 103 genera and 43 families were identified. Of these, 59 species represented novel taxa, thirty-eight species reflected new records for South Africa, and 48 species were new reports on Proteaceae. Biodiversity analysis revealed the species richness for the fynbos Mycota was moderately high with 2.2 collections representing a different fungal species. The percentage of new fungal taxa (43 % of the total species) was exceptionally high, and most of these probably host-specific. More than 80 % of the fungi collected in this study had hard and closed fruiting structures, indicating an adaptation to the constraints of the harsh fynbos environment. Other than providing a foundation for further studies, this investigation highlights a disturbing paucity of knowledge regarding the fynbos Mycota in one of the worlds most threatened and unusual floral Kingdoms.
