some of you have been contacted directly by me (Luis Quijada), but I would like to post here the following information to see if there are anybody interested.
Currently I have been granted to develop a project in the family Tympanidaceae in the Harvard Herbarium. The project emerged as part of my PhD, because I started to work with Claussenomyces four years ago, then I realized that related genera had been forgotten and a lot of mistakes exists in the concept of species, genus, etc.

The aim of the project is review the family, improve the knowledge of each genus in the family (clarify morphological concepts, do accurate descriptions and create keys), sampling different types of substrates (explore symptoms in hosts) in different types of forest and generate DNA barcodes and phylogeny with several molecular markers.

Do you like like to collaborate in the project in someway? There are few people that know this group of fungi and can recognize in the field or has herbarium samples. I want to have a good sampling from the different genera in the family but mainly in Tympanis, Durandiella, Pragmopora, Micraspis and Claussenomyces. I hope somebody like the idea and if you want more details please ask me by email to lquijull@gmail.com. I will travel to USA in two days.

Best wishes,

Luis
