A week-long seminar entitled “The World of Myxomycetes” will be taught by Dr. Steve Stephenson at the Humboldt Field Research Institute in Maine during the period of July 27 to August 2, 2008. The purpose of the seminar is to provide the information needed to collect, study, and develop an understanding of the biology, taxonomy, ecology, and global distribution of the myxomycetes; a truly fascinating but relatively little-known group of organisms. Information on the entire program of natural history seminars to be offered by the Humboldt Field Research Institute during 2008 is available at www.eaglehill.us.
