Last chance to know? The changing biogeography of mushrooms and the death cap in California
The Talk: As humans reshape Earth's biodiversity, conservationists and the public worry about what will happen to animals and plants. But what about fungi? Mushrooms are also on the move, and movements are often mediated by commerce and trade. Humans brought the fungus Amanita phalloides to California, and it is now invasive. How did that happen and why is it spreading?

Entomopathogenic Fungi of Eastern North America
This lecture is based on a niche evolutionary group of fungi that infect and kill insects, resulting in incredible ecological interactions and beautiful, almost sculptural fruiting bodies. Over the last three years he has found 15 undescribed species in Southeastern Pennsylvania and further south in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia. The most rewarding part has been teaching others how to get out into their backyards and find these incredible organisms!
