Albion I cancellation.
Hi Everyone.
Well , the weather won this weekend so we are cancelling the foray at Albion. It is just too dangerous to be in the woods under these conditions. I will be able to refund all deposits. The folks at Albion are quite accommodating. So we we will lose nothing.
General Meeting at Harvey West Scout House
Nov 14, 7 PM This month our regular meeting is moved up 1 week so as not to create conflict with Thanksgiving plans.
Rytas Vilgalys | Mushrooms and Climate Change: Fungi in a Changing World
Dr. Rytas Vilgalys' talk will be about studies in his lab at Duke University on environmental mycology using molecular approaches. At his lab, research focuses on sampling DNA directly from the environment using state-of-the-art technologies such as high-throughput sequencing, microarrays, and bioinformatics to study how microbial communities respond to environmental change. He promises to show lots of cool mushroom pictures as well, although the talk will also try to introduce some ideas in fungal ecology.
