Fungi are an essential part of the environment as plant-symbiotes, nutrient-cyclers, decomposers and food for animals. Fire affects fungi by changing the soil structure, nutrient availability and other aspects of the environment. Some fungi are adapted to fire and it can even be a trigger for fruiting. However other fungi do not survive fire and this can have a long term impact on the environment.
Dr Sapphire McMullan-Fisher has extensive experience as a field mycologist and ecologist, including researching the impact of fire on fungi. She is currently researching the endangered Tea Tree Fingers and working on Fungi4Land, a practical guide for land managers working with fungi.
This event is a fundraiser for the non-profit projects Fungi4Land and the Wild Fungi DNA project. We are asking for a recommended donation of $25, however all donations are appreciated. Once you sign up you should receive a ticket. We will email out Zoom links the day of the event. Please download Zoom ahead of time.
