Eleanor Yarrow, dedicated mycologist

Eleanor Yarrow was an amateur mycologist who studied mycology with Sylvia Stein and Dr. Clark Rogerson. She was a mycology instructor at the New York Botanical Garden for several years, until she died of cancer in 1972. She was a wonderful photographer and took photos for teaching purposes. She tried to show the important features of the species to help the students in their identification. After her death, her husband, Leo Yarrow, donated her slides to the New York Botanical Garden, where Dr. Sam Ristich and Sylvia Stein spent many hours cataloging them for the Garden. Dr. Clark Rogerson, who was the curator for the slides, gave COMA permission to copy them for their own use and to put them on a website for teaching purposes, and here they are now, to educate and delight the public.
