Feral Boy Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Here is a research request for Monotropa samples (Pine Sap, Indian Pipes, and the like): Hi Patrick! I am a grad student at the Ohio State University working on the classification of Monotropa (and other monotropoids) using morphology and DNA. I was fascinated to see your recent picture of M. hypopitys in N. Carolina on the 19th. This looks like the late-blooming red color form I’ve been seeing here in Ohio and in Maryland very recently. From the details of the morphology, it is possible this is a distinct species, and I would love to get a sample for detailed analysis. So I know it is an imposition to ask, but (!) if you are out in the woods and see M. hypopitys again, we would be extremely grateful if you could collect a sample for us. This is as easy as sticking it in a plastic baggy and overnighting it (for which we would of course reimburse you), or we could send you a FedEx account number. We were down in Missouri in July, and looked all over for hypopitys but didn’t see it anywhere, even in the most likely places, where it was known to bloom previously. It’s a tricky thing to find when you want to! I found this site since I am increasingly interested in the fungi I find when I’m hunting for mycoheterotrophs… it’s a nice symbiosis. Please let me know if I can give you any more information. Cheers! Michael Broe, broe.1@osu.edu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroom Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I find tons in pine forest here in northern mn. Unfortunately I think they're all gone by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Does one dehydrate these as with mushrooms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I've still been seeing some monotropoids lately at higher elevations (we have at least 3 species here). But I don't know if Michael is interested in western specimens. I'll send him an email to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitog Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I received a response that Michael is definitely interested in western samples. However, I haven't seen any since I wrote to him. EasternWA, if you find some, you can email Michael for his address. I already have it, but I don't know if he wants it made public. I don't see any way of doing private messaging on this Website.

Just click on the name of the person you want to send to and find the link to the left for send message. I'm going to send you one to show you how.

vitog Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks, Mary. I just sent a PM to EasternWA, and it was easy. You just need to know where to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
