Abstract
Dr. Roy Halling retired in December, 2018 after 34 years as Curator of Fungi at the New York Botanical Garden. This brief retrospective recognizes Dr. Halling’s many contributions to the fields of basidiomycete systematics and biogeography through his scientific publications and field guides, field expeditions on five continents, international network of collaborators, training of students and parataxonomists, and contributions to infrastructure for field and collections-based research.
