            Comment on my work on fungal evolution:

My work on the molecular systematics and evolution of fungi (e.g., Hausner et al. 1993, Can. J. Bot. 71: 1249-1265; Hausner et al. 2000, Can. J. Bot. 78: 124-128) has been extensively cited in the literature and in standard Mycology text books (Alexopoulus et al. 1996, Introduction to Mycology, 4thed. Wiley; and in Webster and Weber 2007, Introduction to Fungi, Cambridge Press).
