Nature Talk: The Underground World of Fungi (Morden, MB)
March 9, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm EST
There is an mind-boggling amount of life in the soil beneath our feet, which is misunderstood by many. However, the underground world of fungi is fascinating and mysterious. Therefore, this Nature Talk’s topic is the diversity of fungal life in Manitoba and how it connects to above ground life.
Dr. Diana Bizecki Robson, the presenter of the talk, is the Curator of Botany at the Manitoba Museum. One of Dr. Robson’s key areas of study is the prairies, which includes a lot of mycological activity. Also, she has found that mushrooms have become a point of delicious interest to her in her studies. You can read her botany blog here.
The Underground World of Fungi promises to be an exciting talk. We hope it will equip people to see this often over-looked part of nature. Also, it will teach participants how to collect and specimens.
When: March 9th, 2017, 7:30pm-9:30pm
Where: Morden Adult Education Centre, 200-30 Stephen Street
