Course Description

An introduction to fungi. The fungal kingdom is made up of millions of species. We use fungi to brew beer and make cheese, as medicines, and as symbols of both rampant decay and unstinting selflessness. Come unpack the mythology and walk away with a deep appreciation of a poorly understood but fascinating part of Earth's biodiversity.
