Michael Jordan is an English mycologist, author of The Encyclopedia of Fungi of Britain and Europe, founder and chairman of the Association of British Fungal Groups (ABFG).[1]
Jordan founded ABFG in 1996, having observed an upsurge in interest in mushroom hunting since presenting Mushroom Magic, a documentary on Channel 4 in 1989.[2][3][4] The ABFG maintains a database of fungus observations for the UK, called CATE, collates affiliated fungus groups, and serves as a national organisation for individual members.
