Dr. Bryn Dentinger is Curator of Mycology and Associate Professor at the Natural History Museum of Utah and the Biology Department at the University of Utah. Bryn hails from Minnesota and attended the University of Minnesota for his PhD, where he studied the molecular systematics of clavarioid and porcini mushrooms. He has carried out fieldwork all over the world, including exciting collecting trips to Vietnam, Brazil, and Cameroon. Outside of work, Bryn enjoys cooking (preferably with mushrooms) and brewing beer, showing that even his hobbies often involve a mycological component. (Source: The Dentinger Lab)
