Join us on Saturday, August 16 at 10 am to explore the trail at Heritage Park in Canton, NY. Fungi are an essential part of our local ecosystems, although they are not as visible as some organisms. Once you start looking, however, you will find evidence of fungi all around. Claire Burkum, a mycologist with Burkum Tree Care and biology instructor at St. Lawrence University will guide a walk to discuss the ecological roles of fungi (recyclers, food, pathogens and mutualists) and talk about the major groups of fungi.
