Often Mysterious Fungal Relationships in Different Habitats - Livestream

The majestic Coast Redwoods are some of the most iconic trees in the world, renowned far and wide for their size, colors, and the uniqueness of their habitat. While not associated with many edible mushrooms, these forests are home to many colorful, rare, and otherwise wonderful fungi. While the redwoods stop just north of the Oregon/California border, other trees in the family reside in the great rainforest of the Cascades. These related trees can create extremely similar conditions, and many redwood mycota are found in western redcedar forest in the Northwest. We will cover the often-mysterious relationships between these fungi, the habitat composition, and the strange ability of these mushrooms to inhabit wildly different habitats around the world.
