Chase G. Mayers

Hi! I'm Chase.

I like fungi, teaching about fungi, and learning how fungi evolve to interact with other organisms.

Teaching

I support the teaching, pedagogical development, and lab components of three fungus-filled courses in the Cornell School of Integrative Plant Science: Biology and Management of Plant Diseases (PLPPM 3010/5010) with Prof. Kerik Cox, Mycology (PLPPM 4490) with Prof. Teresa Pawlowska, and Magical Mushrooms, Mischievous Molds (PLSCI 2010/2013) with Prof. Kathie Hodge. Students with questions about class should check the relevant Canvas homepages for information, or contact me at the email address below.

Research

I also do research on fungal diversity, evolution, symbiosis, and systematics. My study systems have included ambrosia beetle fungus-mycangium coevolution, Rapid 'Ōhi'a Death (Ceratocystis lukuohia/huliohia) genomics, and the endobacteria of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and other Mucoromycetes.
