About

Matthew E. Smith is an Associate Professor at the University of Florida, USA. His research focuses on mycology, particularly in the areas of fungal biodiversity, ecology, and phylogenetics as evidenced by his recent articles on various fungal species and their ecological interactions. His work includes studies on extreme abiotic stress tolerance in fungi, bioluminescent species, and the effects of salinity on ectomycorrhizal communities.
