Botany & Mycology 2009 will maintain a list of registrants who have submitted their names and indicated an interest in sharing a room during the conference. Botany & Mycology 2009 is not responsible for assigning roommates.

To be included on the list, please submit your name, e-mail address and pertinent information on the Room Sharing Service link.
