Fungi (i.e. mushrooms, yeasts, lichens, molds)
are everywhere around us, forming symbioses with all plants and animals,
and performing critical roles that keep complex ecological webs intact.
And yet, most people are completely unaware of the incredible and
ubiquitous nature of the Fungal Kingdom. In this part presentation, part
mushroom roadshow, author Peter McCoy will present many means for
dispelling this paradox. From the ecological importance of mushrooms and
other fungi, to their rich history with human cultures around the
world, to the increasingly profound potential for mushroom cultivation
to address a range of pressing global issues, this special event will
take you deep into the fungal realm. The result just may change the way
you look at fungi, and the world at large. The event is a part of the 2016 Radical Mycology Book tour with Peter McCoy. Read more about the book at bit.ly/rmchthaeus See the whole tour route at bit.ly/rmtour2016
