Environmental Mycology & Mycological Systematics

Working Group of Ursula Peintner

About

My research is focussed around fungal systematics, fungal communities and their interactions with the environment. I am also very interested in ethnomycology, which is always including medicinal and practical aspects of fungi. The Mycological Collection (IB) is a very important source of fungal reference material for sequence databases and for morphological comparison. I am curating the Mycological Collection (IB) together with Regina Kuhnert.

- Fungal communities and their interactions in the alpine environment

- In Vitro Susceptibility Testing of Fungi
- Next Generation Sequencing and bioinformatics of NGS data
- Identification of fungi in the environment, especially of basidiomycota, anamorphic fungi and ectomycorrhizae
