OBITS OBITS


Roger Phillips, “Mr. Fungi,” died unexpectedly on November 15th, 2021.


He was 89. Phillips was an English author, photographer, and artist best known for his series of photographically illustrated plant identification guides and his encyclopedic knowledge of mushrooms and other fungi. Phillips was born on December 16, 1932 in the town of Uxbridge, England, and went on to serve in the Royal Air Force of Canada as part of his National Service. He worked in a hospital while also taking night classes at the Chelsea School of Art. Phillips later worked in advertising as a designer and art director. In 1968, he left advertising to work as a freelance photographer. In 1981 Roger Phillips completed his six-year study of fungi and published Mushrooms and Other Fungi of Great Britain and Europe, which was a major contribution to their understanding and recognition. A second edition was published in 2006. On this side of the Atlantic, his 1991 Mushrooms of North America became


an instant classic. (I’ve worn out several copies, both paper and hardback.) Tis book rightly proclaimed that at the time it was “Te most comprehensive mushroom guide ever, with over 1,000 color photographs.” Phillips’s works have been popularized in two television series, Te Quest for the Rose and Te 3,000 Mile Garden. In 2007, the Queen of England bestowed the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) medal upon Roger Phillips (this is the third highest ranking honors, awarded to those making major contributions to their line of work). -Britt A.

Edward O. Wilson died on December 26, 2021, at the age of 92.


Microbiologist Roberto Kolter (see “Bookshelf Fungi” in this edition) said of E.O. Wilson on the blog “Small Tings Considered” that “Te world lost one of its premier defenders of biodiversity and a pioneering ecologist and evolutionary biologist. We start the year honoring the memory of this remarkable scientist and communicator. His many scientific contributions, at times awe-inspiring and at times controversial, left an impact that


will be felt for many decades to come. In my opinion, it was his gift for delivering a clear narrative of science in an easily accessible form that will be his most lasting legacy. Te passion he felt for his subject matter was always evident in his writings, from his vivid descriptions of a colony of ants to his call for saving the Earth’s biodiversity. For microbiologists, the closing paragraph from his 1994 autobiography Naturalist, will forever remain inspirational: If I could do it all over again, and relive


my vision in the twenty-first century, I would be a microbial ecologist. Ten billion bacteria live in a gram of ordinary soil, a mere pinch held between thumb and forefinger. Tey represent thousands of species, almost none of which are known to science. Into that world I would go with the aid of modern microscopy and molecular analysis. I would cut my way through clonal forests sprawled across grains of sand, travel in an imagined submarine through drops of water proportionately the size of lakes, and track predators and prey in order to discover new life ways and alien food webs.”

whatever job you have and just quit.


Just stop now, and devote the rest


of your life to mushrooms.” _Gary Lincoff ISSN 1941-4943 01>

mushrooms are quite palatable, some are deadly poisonous. It is advisable to avoid eating any wild organisms, including fungi, unless absolutely certain of identification. And although some mushroom species are edible for many people, those same species may cause allergic reactions or illness in others. When in doubt, throw it out.

It should be understood that the Publisher and all Editors are not responsible for any consequences of ingesting wild mushrooms.
