The Magic of Mushrooms - Lecture and Field Experience

Description

The mushrooms we see are just the spore-producing bodies of a much larger and more complex organism growing in the wood or ground below. The vast majority is composed of hyphae, thread-like structures, which form intricate networks below the surface. Fungi are the decomposers and recyclers of our forest systems. Without them, forests would take much longer to regenerate.

Join us to learn about this fascinating life form.
