Course Description
Have you ever wondered how a forest can sustain itself without fertilizers, pesticides, or tractors? Or how soil can purge itself of toxins? Spoiler alert--it's the fungi! In this class, you'll use forest ecology as a template for exploring methods of fungal-friendly farming for healthy soils and crops. You'll learn common agricultural problems, the shortcomings of current methods for addressing these problems, and then consider the fungal alternatives. You'll also look at common contaminants in urban areas and how fungi might help us remediate our soils.
