As a mycologist, Dr. Millman has studied fungi all over the world in places as diverse as Svalbard, Belize, Western Samoa, the Canadian Arctic, Belize, Costa Rica, but especially in his own backyard of New England. 

His inventory of fungi at Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary in Princeton , MA , currently numbers 490 species. With fellow mycologist Bill Neill, he discovered a species of polypore ( Echinodontium ballouii ) in 2005 that hadn’t been seen since 1909 and was thought to be extinct. 

In the fall of 2011, Dr. Millman led mushroom walks in Fairbanks (AK), Craftsbury (VT), Wellfleet (MA), Conway (NH), Sharon (MA), Montpelier (VT), Princeton (MA), Concord (MA), Girdwood (AK), New York (NY), and Boston .
