Our Fungal Future: How Mushrooms Will Save the World In-Person
Beneath our feet and within every forest lies a hidden network of extraordinary organisms working wonders – fungi. This visually stunning lecture introduces you to the emerging importance of mushrooms and their underground networks in solving critical ecological and environmental issues. We'll explore their remarkable abilities to detoxify pollution, enrich biodiversity, create sustainable alternatives in clothing and packaging, and even remediate climate change. You’ll be surprised and amazed by the intricate, often unseen, processes by which these unsung alchemists are quietly revolutionizing environmental stewardship.
The lecture is presented by writer-naturalist Mike Weilbacher, who travels the region offering walks and talks on a variety of nature and environmental topics, from climate change here in the Philly area to the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. The author of Wild Philly: Explore the Amazing Nature In and Around Philadelphia, Mike will also sell and sign his books.
