Biography

American mycologist known as "Iowa's mushroom lady", who published on many different aspects of fungal life, but her special area of research was Iowa's prairie fungi. She taught for over 50 years at Iowa State University (ISU). She won a number of awards, including becoming the first recipient of both the Mycological Society of America's Weston Award and the Iowa Governor’s Medal for Science Teaching.

She published over 100 scientific papers and several books on various aspects of fungi, especially soil fungi, plant pathogens, mycotoxins, morels, and lichens. For making scholarly contributions on each of the major groups of the fungus kingdom, she has been referred to as the Renaissance woman of mycological research. She was particularly interested in Iowa prairie fungi, their fungal diseases, and their relationship to environmental changes (such as those resulting from fires).

Tiffany formally retired from the university in 2002 but maintained a small lab there and continued teaching until 2005. She died on 6 September 2009 at age 85 in Ames, Iowa.
