Nature nerd and heavy music enthusiast, by profession bioinformatician with a background in molecular biology and ecology. My career path has taken me away from species identification, but I consider myself an enthusiastic amateur botanist and mycologist.

My main interest are currently vascular plants and fungi, but I also like insects and spiders (and I do appreciate/record everything I see and get the chance to take a photo of).

My IDs are mostly within Sweden and based on the following literature:

• plants:
  - Nordens Flora and Krok/Almquist
  - Keys by the Swedish Botanical Association

• fungi:
  - Fungi of Temperate Europe
  - Various Swedish books (e.g. Ryman/Holmåsen - Svampar; Nylén - Svampar i Norden och Europa; Nitare - Skyddsvärd Skog)
  - Corticioid Fungi of Europe (in combination with the old Corticiaceae of Northern Europe)
  - misc. online sources

I am very happy and thankful for any corrections/IDs on my observations or IDs.
