SUMMARY:Mycoparasitism: When Good Fungi Turn Bad
DESCRIPTION:Description:Many examples exist where fungi use other fungi as sources of nutrition  causing their fungal hosts to incur damage as a result. This phenomenon is called ‘mycoparasitism’  and it is surprisingly common in nature. Many common fungi that you may already be familiar with participate in this exploitative ecological relationship. Join Dr. James Scott from the University of Toronto for a brief tour of the fascinating world of mycoparasitism  and uncover some of the secret lives behind your favorite fungi! About Dr. James Scott:Dr. James Scott is a faculty member in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto where is the Head of the Division of Occupational & Environmental Health  and the Director of the UAMH Centre for Global Microfungal Biodiversity. Dr. Scott’s research focuses on the interactions between people and microorganisms (fungi  bacteria and viruses). His mycological work studies the taxonomy  ecology and aerobiology of human-associated fungi responsible for infectious and allergic disease. His work on bacteria focuses on the influence of environmental exposures on the acquisition and maturation of the infant gut microbiome  and the airborne movement of pathogenic bacteria in healthcare buildings and outdoor air. Lastly  his work on viruses investigates the airborne transmission of influenza and most recently SARS-CoV-2  and he is one of a handful of North American experts on bioaerosols with specific expertise in particle filtration efficiency of masks and respirators. Dr. Scott’s teaching deals with biological hazards in the workplace and community  public health sanitation  and medical and veterinary mycology. Most recently Dr. Scott joined the executive team of PsiloTech Health Solutions  a Canadian biotech start-up led by neuropsychiatrist and psychopharmacologist Dr. Peter Silverstone to commercialize the clinical use of psychedelic mushrooms in the treatment of PTSD and other psychiatric illnesses resistant to conventional therapy.  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
