Current Research:

Qiuxin Wu, Gregory Mueller, and their Chinese collaborators, Drs. Shouyu Guo and Yongqing Huang, are working on the project, "Comparative Studies on Macrofungi of China and Eastern North America", funded by National Science Foundation (USA) and Chinese National Natural Science Foundation. One of their major objectives is to investigate genetic divergence among and within geographically isolated populations of mushroom species that have presumed eastern Asia and eastern North America disjunct distributions by using DNA sequencing techniques.
