[Go] sporulation rearrangement

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Maria,

Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life [AFTOL] project [http://aftol.org/] 
is currently getting together to work on a similar lines. Just yesterday 
John A. Crow [crow at umn.edu] from UMN contacted me. I am copying this 
mail to John and the PI Joey Spatafora.
