Friday, December 12th at 6:30pm at Sigrid’s apartment; Limited Attendance
Welcome to the Dark Side: The Fascinating World of Fungi Growing on Dung
Join us for a deep dive into the fascinating world of coprophilous fungi – fungi that grow on dung. These fungi are surprisingly diverse, ecologically important, and often strikingly beautiful. The lecture will feature macro and time lapse photography to reveal their hidden details, growth patterns and spore-launching behaviours. A wide range of species will be covered, from well-known genera like Pilobolus and Panaeolus to tiny ascomycetes, including species new to science.
