My research interests are centered on the cultivation of the white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). I am interested in looking at ways to improve production efficiency based on studying microbial population dynamics during the mushroom cropping process to determine the influence that these populations have on the nutrition of the mushroom as well as how they relate to mushroom yield and disease development.
