Dr. Kyde possesses a BS in Botany, an MS in Plant Physiology and a Ph.D. in Mycology all granted by Rutgers University. She and her husband, Neil are residents of Tinicum Township where they have a home located on The Tulgey Wood, a State Stewardship Forest and a protected site through an easement granted by the Heritage Conservancy.

An active conservationist, Dr. Kyde has been a member of a number of Open Space and Land Conservation committees. Among her many awards are being recognized by the Delaware River Greenway Partnership; being named Bucks County Watershed Conservationist of the Year; recipient of the Director’s Land Ethics Award from Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve and was named Lady High Admiral of the Delaware River Sojourn.

With her Ph.D. in Mycology, it goes without saying that she has a deep interest in mushrooms and correspondingly in-depth knowledge of them. It is our privilege to have Martie with us to present “Lotta Things You Don’t Know About ‘Shrooms”
