Sten has been awarded a grant of SEK 3.5 million over 2.5 years from the Swedish Information Centre for a project on “strategic taxonomy” in the basidiomycete family Thelephoraceae! Using a new method to approach the formal description of unknown species, he will utilise a national soil sample dataset for Sweden to target and prioritise the most common as well as the most likely threatened species in the country for taxonomic description. Congratulations, Sten!
