SUMMARY:Last chance to know? The changing biogeography of mushrooms and the death cap in California
DESCRIPTION: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?\n\n\nThe Speaker:  Anne Pringle was born in Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia\, and spent her childhood traveling through Southeast Asia and West Africa. After being dragged along on one-too-many birding expeditions\, she abandoned the birds for fungi. She got her Ph.D. in Botany and Genetics at Duke University. After completing a Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science Fellowship at the University of California\, Berkeley\, she joined the faculty at Harvard University. She next moved to the University of Wisconsin\, Madison\, where she is now a Vilas Distinguished Achievement and the Mary Herman Rubinstein Professor in the Departments of Botany and Bacteriology. Pringle has given over 180 talks to academic and popular audiences in countries including China\, Colombia\, France\, Singapore\, Sweden\, Thailand\, and the United States.  \nShe has been awarded the Alexopoulos Prize for a Distinguished Early Career Mycologist (2010)\, the Mendelsohn Excellence in Mentoring Award from the Harvard University Graduate Student Council (2011)\, the Fannie Cox Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching from Harvard University (2013)\, a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship (2011-2012)\, the Mid-Career Mycorrhiza Research Excellence Award from the International Mycorrhiza Society (2019)\, and a Fulbright U.S. Scholarship (2022-2023\, taken to South Africa). She is a National Geographic Explorer.  In 2019\, Pringle was elected President of the Mycological Society of America.  \nTo see Pringle talk about fungi\, invasion by death caps\, and the microbiomes of pitcher plants\, please visit the ibiology website: https://www.ibiology.org/speakers/anne-pringle/ . To read her publications and see her lab’s video about working with fungi please visit her laboratory website: https://pringlelab.botany.wisc.edu/. \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.

SUMMARY:Entomopathogenic Fungi of Eastern North America
DESCRIPTION: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 Rowan 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! \nRowan Nygard grew up exploring the creeks and forests around the Eno River State Park in Durham\, North Carolina.  There he found a deep appreciation of nature\, and a desire to know more about the natural world around him.  This search led him to a career in horticulture\, and to Kennett Square\, Pennsylvania.  He is a graduate of the Professional Horticulture Program at Longwood Gardens and hopes to bring his skillset to the gardens and ecosystems of Southern Appalachia.  During this process of discovery\, he has immersed himself in the study of ecology\, with a focus on mycology and the ways that plants\, animals\, and fungi interact.  He is a passionate citizen scientist and educator and hopes to demystify the world of ecology so that everyone can see deeper into the natural world around them. \nThis talk requires a RSVP. Please email Tom Bigelow at tom_bigelow@hotmail.com if you planning to attend.
