** Marvelous Mushrooms of BC with Ludovic Le Renard (October 3rd, 2024) **
Passionate about everything fungal and their evolution, Ludo loves to share the biology, diversity, and evolutionary history of fungi. He completed his PhD at UBC working on fungal fossils to investigate their evolution over geologic time. Ludo is also the lead of the Education Committee at the Vancouver Mycological Society.
Thank you to all who joined us for a fascinating talk about many of the common mushrooms in British Columbia. We learned about how they evolved to what we see today, and what forces drove this evolution.
Our speaker was kind enough to leave us a parting gift of some useful websites and books he recommends:
