Talk Description:
How plants, animals, and fungi interact with one another to form the largest forest in California. Having found himself out of work this summer due to health issues, Mikhael chose to spend a month and a half in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. While there, he studied everything he came across, from chipmunks chittering in the trees to mushrooms emerging at higher elevations, discovering the unique biomes and relationships between plants, animals, and fungi. Join him to explore these interconnections across kingdoms of life.
Bio:
