In this course we cover a weird, cool group of organisms that very few people know much about.
Fungi play important roles in the environment and in our lives.
Introductory Mycology explores this ubiquitous and unusual kingdom of life through lectures, readings, and hands-on laboratories. You might think that you're not terribly interested in fungi. Some of my students thought that last year, but most of them don't think that anymore. Fungi have surprising impacts on us, but perhaps because they tend to be small we don't notice them much. Perhaps you enjoyed a fungal fermented beverage at a pub last weekend.
