Notes:
Professor Ken Haynes was a great fungal biologist with a keen eye for the Grand Vision, a loyal, supportive and hilarious friend to many in the fungal community, an inspiring mentor to innumerable junior scientists, and a loyal supporter of Fulham Football Club. He left us far too early, on 19th March this year at the age of 58, but he has entrusted us with a superb legacy in the field of molecular medical mycology.
