Dr. Michael Davis of the UC Davis Department of Plant Pathology will discuss fascinating facts about mushrooms and how they are an important part of a healthy ecosystem. Focus will be on California species and especially those found in Placer County and surrounding areas, including the mushrooms of coastal forests, the Sierra Nevada, deserts, and urban areas.
