Led by Jonathan Kranz—Mass Audubon–certified naturalist and Vice President of the Boston Mycological Club—this talk will explore how fungi contribute to decomposition, nutrient cycling, and plant communication, with a focus on native species and local habitats. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how mushrooms are more than curious forest dwellers—they are ecological powerhouses crucial to the sustainability of New England’s woodlands.

Ideal for nature enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone interested in the science behind our forests.
