Lawrence Millman

In addition to being an Arctic explorer and ethnographer, Lawrence Millman is a mycologist who has studied fungi in such places as Honduras, Greenland, Nantucket, Panama, Western Samoa, and Fresh Pond in Cambridge. With fellow mycologist Bill Neill, he discovered a species in 2006 in New Hampshire that had been considered extinct for almost a hundred years. His guidebook Fascinating Fungi of New England is the first guidebook to New England species; it was written for beginners. Dr. Millman lives in Cambridge.
