He earned an MS degree in Plant Biochemistry from Clemson University in 1991, focusing on endophytic fungi and phytohormones.[6] He completed his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology at Penn State University in 1995, researching the evolution of macrofungi under Dr. Daniel J. Royse.[7][8] Following graduation, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the USDA-ARS at Ft. Detrick, Maryland.[9]

Career[edit]

As an editor he served as Editor-in-Chief of the North American Mycological Association’s journal McIlvainea,[10] and as a subject editor for the Entomological Society of America’s journal Annals of the Entomological Society of America,[11] and the Mycological Society of America's journal Mycologia.[7] He founded the mycology journal Fungi in 2008, and has served as Editor-in-Chief until today.[1][12] Since 2014, he has served as Executive Director of the Telluride Mushroom Festival, the largest wild mushroom festival in North America.[13]

Britt Bunyard has received significant coverage in multiple sources related to the field of mycology. Bunyard has published many academic and popular science papers[5] including landmark research in the family of Morchellacea which has been cited by Ascomycete Fungi of North America: A Mushroom Reference Guide by Michael W. Beug[14] and Introduction to Fungi by John Webster and Roland Weber.[15] His research on Amanita mushrooms has been cited in Molds, Mushrooms, and Medicines by Nicholas Money.[16]

Bunyard was subject of a feature in the book Fantastic Fungi: How Mushrooms Can Heal, Shift Consciousness, and Save the Planet.[17] His influence as a mycologist was detailed in the book Mycophilia: Revelations from the Weird World of Mushrooms by Eugenia Bone.[18] Other authors have accredited inspiration and influence to Bunyard in their writings including Denis Benjamin in Mushroom Mania: Facts and Fiction: Hope or Hype,[19] Andy MacKinnon in Mushrooms of British Columbia (Royal BC Museum Handbook),[20] and Jonathan Walton in The Cyclic Peptide Toxins of Amanita and Other Poisonous Mushrooms.[21]
