Fungi in a Changing Climate
Learn about the diverse and important roles played by Earth's Natural Recyclers in the environment, their significance to humans, and how we can utilize fungi to decompose waste, grow gourmet food and promote environmental restoration. Topics will include the mushroom life cycle, fungal ecology, bioremediation (healing toxic environments), mushrooms and health, and growing mycelia and mushrooms at home.
