This month's speaker is Taylor Quedensley speaking on lichens.  Lichen-forming fungi (lichens) are a group of organisms that depends on a symbiotic relationship with a photosynthetic partner. These organisms are present on every continent and are diverse in most terrestrial ecosystems. Texas is represented by distinct ecoregions, and the state has not yet been thoroughly surveyed for lichens. This presentation will share some insight into lichen diversity in north central Texas based on recent and historical collections.

Taylor Quedensley grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended college at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where he studied horticulture. After college, he worked at the San Francisco Botanical Garden and became involved with growing New World cloud forest species. He attended the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and subsequently, the University of Texas at Austin, where he researched sunflower species in Mexican and Guatemalan cloud forests. Currently, Taylor is the manager at Cox Farms Nursery in Duncanville and holds a research appointment through the University of Texas herbarium in Austin.
