  3. 2nd Place in Art “Tangled up in Blues” Tangled Up in Blues (44" X 36") is mixed media on canvas and is a depiction of mycelial fragments of Cgs stained with lactophenol cotton blue, acridine orange and acid fuschin as seen under a compound microscope. Mixed media refers to the useage of acrylic and oil paints with the addition of charcoal.

  4. 3rd Place in Art“Orange Mycelial Space (48" X 36") This is mixed media on canvas and is a depiction of mycelial fragments of Cgs stained with lactophenol cotton blue, acridine orange and acid fuschin as seen under a compound microscope.

  5. Art“Fungal Media for the Media” A 5' pyrex plate with Malt Yeast Agar media was inoculated with several fungal species and left to grow for 30 days. The APS logo was cut out of the media to reveal a fungal art design. The plate sits upon a decaying polypore attached to a still living American Elm located on the University of Maine campus. The elm is named in memory of Richard J. Campana who inoculated the tree against the Dutch Elm disease.

  6. Art“Fungus Solaris” The image is of fungi growing on a 5 inch diameter glass Pyrex plate. There are two different fungi: one that is yellow, and one that produces red secondary metabolites. The media, Malt Yeast Agar (MYA), is originally tan in color but was dyed by the fungi. The plate was held up to the sky as a backdrop.

  7. Art“Fungal Doodle” Pen and paper - depicts fungal spores

  8. Art“The Miracle of Photosynthesis at Montery Bay” It is meant to show carbon dioxide, water from the California sea breezes and sunshine combining miraculously to make a Monterey pine. These trees (Pinusradiata) are threatened by pitch canker (caused by Fusariumcircinatum) in their tiny native range, the Monterey Peninsula of California, yet they are the most widely planted forest tree in the southern hemisphere.The quilt is made from cotton fabrics, cotton batting and glass beads.
