ZOOM Program: Mushrooms of the Garden with Tom Bruns
This event is no longer on sale.
Botanical gardens are obviously known for their plants, but with plants come fungi. In fact, the diversity of plants and fungi are coupled through their many ecological interactions. The UC Botanical Garden is a great place to showcase the fungal side of life, particularly during the rainy season when mushrooms start to fruit in abundance. This talk will introduce you to some of the fungi seen in the Garden over the last few weeks and will cover the ecological roles that they fill.
