Dr Teresa Lebel is a taxonomist and ecologist who works on fungi, with a particular interest in subterranean truffle-like fungi and their mushroom, bolete, bracket or cup relatives.
Career[edit]
Lebel studied at the University of Western Australia (undergraduate and Honours 1989), then Oregon State University (PhD) before taking up a position at the National Herbarium of Victoria as a mycologist (1999-2019), and Editor of Muelleria. During this time, Lebel undertook a two-year sabbatical on the Ross Beever Memorial Fellowship at Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research (2012-2014). Lebel is currently (2020-) Senior Botanist and Curator Cryptogams at the State Herbarium of South Australia.[1]
The National Herbarium of Victoria holds over 1200 specimens collected by Lebel, the majority truffle-like fungi. Other herbaria in Australia holding her collections include Western Australian Herbarium, State Herbarium of South Australia, New Zealand Fungarium Te Kohinga Hekakeka o Aotearoa, Queensland Herbarium, Australian National Herbarium, Tasmanian Herbarium and the New South Wales Plant Pathology Herbarium.[2]
Research interests include: the taxonomy, systematics, diversity and biogeography of Australian macrofungi, in particular the truffle and truffle-like fungi; the effects of disturbance such as fire, logging, introduced weedy macrofungi, and loss of dispersal agents on macrofungal diversity and community structure; plant-fungal-animal-insect interactions, including ectomycorrhizae, mycophagy and co-evolution and arms-races. Communication of research to the general public, students, educators and managers in intriguing ways.
