SUMMARY:Tom Horton - A Mycocentric View of the Wood Wide Web - Friday February 18\, 2022 at 7pm
DESCRIPTION:We’ve recently heard Suzanne Simard discuss her revolutionary finding that the trees in the forest are connected to each other by a fungal web and that they are sharing nutrients and more via that web. But how is that web formed? What is really happening as different fungal species interact with different trees’ roots and with each other? What sorts of recognition and movement are going on underground? The mycorrhizal network is behaving in ways that are surprisingly complex and this complexity is rarely referred to — probably because it’s microscopic underground and difficult to decode. While Suzanne was figuring out the web by feeding labelled CO2 to trees Tom was working on identifying the fungi at the roots of trees. The opportunity to hear both talks will give us a rare and valuable top-to-bottom view of the wood wide web. \nAbout Tom Horton After getting his BA at Humboldt State University Tom went on to get an MA in Ecology & Systematics at San Francisco State U where  he investigated the role of mycorrhizal fungi associated with chaparral plants facilitating Douglas-fir establishment. Dr. Tom Parker a plant ecologist was his main advisor but he was lucky to also work closely with Dr. Harry Thiers and Dr. Dennis Desjardin. Continuing to work with eminent mycologists he got his PhD at UC Berkeley with Tom Bruns focusing on the use of molecular tools to investigate underground ectomycorrhizal communities. He did his post-doc at Oregon State U. under Drs. Randy Molina and Jim Trappe continuing to study mycorrhizal fungi and plant dynamics. He is now a professor at SUNY Syracuse where his projects follow his general interest in knowing how the life history of ectomycorrhizal fungi influence plant succession and plant community dynamics in general. Ths talk happened at 7pm on Friday February 18 2022 \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
