Patricia Kaishian studies fungi, with particular attention to specialized parasitic fungi (like Laboulbeniales) that live on insects, as well as plant-pathogenic and rust fungi that affect trees and shrubs. Their work includes describing new fungal species, mapping fungal diversity and evolutionary relationships, and writing about the broader importance of including fungi in conservation and public understanding of biology.
