* The Mycological Society of Toronto will sponsor the Third Annual Cain Foray near Dorset, Ontario. Persons interested in participatinq s houl d contact Mrs. ~onnie-~or~an,24 Gl engrove Ave. East, or onto M~N1 E7, Ontario, Canada. The foray will be held Sept. 23-25, 1977.

* Claude Nash of Smith, Kl ine & French Laboratories calls to our attention the following workshop sponsored by the Society for Industrial Microbiology. Interested persons should contact SIM or Dr. Nash.

Environmental Aspects of Industrial Fermentation Processes Sunday, August 21, 1977, Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 9:30A - 4:30P This workshop will provide an opportunity for individuals concerned with the operation, management or 1egislative regulation of industrial microbiological processes to become more familiar with current and impending regulations, and to develop strategies for meeting these process control requirements. The faculty for this workshop will provide information on the philosophy of regulatory bodies related to this area, and on approaches and criteria used in establ ishment of standards. In addition, individuals involved in mi cro- biological process waste managetilent will discuss approaches and procedures in current use and under development, and their strategies for meeting future environmental regul ations. This will be followed by a round tab1 e-type discussion, where each speaker will have an opportunity to bring points of further concern into focus. A sutiimary discussion between faculty and particip- ants will then be used to develop a general strategy for future work.

NEW MYCOLOGICAL RESEARCH PROJECTS

* Garr Cole is now doi ng coloni zation and ul tras tructural studies of gastro- &candidiasis in mice. * Ann Bell is studying the and ecology of coprophilous fungi of New Zealand and would like to communicate with other persons sharing her interests.

* Jack States has two new projects. He is studying competiti9e interactions among Hyphomycetes in soils of cool desert grassland and the role of soil inhabiting fungi in the water repellancy of desert soils.

* Characterization of antigens associated with hypersensitivity in pneumoni tis is the current work of Viswanath Kurup.

* During 1977-78 Terr Johnson will be collaborating on a monograph ofthe Saprol egniaceae-ihlT wit o an Seymour while he is on sabbatical from Duke. The work will be carried out at Ohio State.

* William Elsik is chairman of the newly formed American Association of Strati- graphic Palynologists Study Group. They will be investigating the stratigraphic occurrence of fungal . More details of this work will be announced at IMC-2.

* A world monograph of the Leotiaceae-Polydesmoideae is being prepared by Richard P. Korf. He is also doing cultural studies of Bisporella (= Calycella). * Broom rusts of conifers and Dothichiza canker of lombardy poplar are the current work of Pritam Singh.

* Marcia Wicklow has begun two new projects. One concerns the microbial ecology of geothermal waste water discharge into the Boise River. Thc second is a study of fungi associated with Engl eniann spruce in the Payette National Forest.

* John Baxter has undertaken an ultrastructural study of mycorrhizal fungi and a scanning EM study of surfaces.

* Gregory Mueller is doing a systematic and cultural study of Laccaria in Southern I11 inois. * Mary Palm and Elwin Stewart have initiated studies on Fungi Imperfecti is01 ated from wood and wood products. Stewart is continuing to collect and identify hypogeous fungi from the midwest and Louisiana.

* The Western Pennsyl vania Conservancy has given a grant to Susan Rabatin to study the seasonal dynamics of endomycorrhi zal fungi in Pennsyl vania prairie and pasture soils.

* David Largent is studying the agarics of the Marble Mountain Wilderness Area and doing work on the histochemistry of agarics. He is also working on the mycorrhi zae of Madrone-IYanzani ta-Douglas Fir-Arcti c-A1 pine meadows.

P RE LIMINARY PROGRAM Dear Colleagues:

In just a few short weeks we hope you will join us at 1MC2 on the campus of the University of South Florida. This event has been in preparation for nearly five years and has resulted in an exciting program and associated activities which should provide many things for all participants.

When you arrive in late August you will find the subtropical climate encourages informality, i.e., 'IT''-shirts in lieu of ties! ?

USF is basically a commuter university located just northeast of Tampa and is 2 easily accessible via 1-75. Tourlsm and topography in Florida have resulted in m ri the use of the automobile as the basic mode of transportation. However, late August is a non-peak tourist time and one will find ample room on the highways. s You also will find that many of the more interesting natural areas are only 2 5: accessible via auto, for example: Cockroach Bay, the fossil pits near Bartow, II) P Dade Battlefield and canoeing on the Withlacoochee. Parking on campus is unlimited. D R l-t 0 For those arriving via plane, Florida Limosine Service, located in the vicinity 1 of baggage pickup is the most economical transportation to USF. m 0 ri Tampa is no different from any other large city. Personal checks are very H difficult to cash but traveler's checks can be obtained from major world currencies 8 h, at the travel office on the University of South Florida campus. H 2 Students attending 1MC2 may earn 3 credits through USF for work done while R P, attending the congress. For information contact Dr. Fred Eilers, IMC~, Biology =r R Department, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, 33620. H L' Hl All letters coming to USF should identify the Congress logo, IMc2 on the o envelope. The phone number of the Tampa Congress of USF is (813) 974-2011. 2 R P. We hope we have planned well for these meetings and have anticipated your needs. We think the theme for this congress may well be 1MC2 - Interacting, Mixing/ 2 - - -Colleagues .

Things to Remember:

1. Address while attending is: c/o IMC2 - University Center 124 University of South Florida Tampa, F1 33620 phone (813) 974-2011

2. Go to Housing first - follow map and signs

3. Return to UC for 1MC2 Registration

4. Food available in UC for early arrivals In anticipation of August,

Diane T. Wagner-Merner, Fred I. Eilers Co-Chairpersons of the Local Arrangements Committee IMC~. . I ' SECOND INTERNATIONAL MYCOLOGICAL CONGRESS

To all IMC2 Participants:

This is the only program you will receive prior to your arrival in Tampa for the Congress. This program contains all essential details of special meetings and scientific sessions. Titles of symposium papers have been omitted to conserve space; they will be included in the final program, which you will receive along with the abstract volume when you arrive in Tampa. Refer to the letter from Drs. Merner and Eil ers, the local arrangements cornnittee, for final instructions concerning your arrival in Tampa, housing, registration, etc.

I REGISTRAIION 1
