Event Details

San Francisco Public Library

There are over 20,000 species of mushroom-forming fungi, arising from unseen filaments that support the diversity and health of our ecosystems. Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin, author of California Mushrooms, explores what mushrooms are, how they live, their myriad ways of dispersal, reproduction, interspecies communication and how we can use mushrooms to feed and heal the world.
