DNA: The Secret History of Mushrooms

Join us in person for an awesome dive into the mysterious world of mushrooms! Discover how DNA unravels their secret history and unlocks nature's hidden stories. Whether you're a science buff or just curious, this event promises fascinating insights and fun conversations. Don't miss out on exploring the magic of mushrooms up close presented by local mycologist, Danny Miller.

Danny first got interested in Mushrooms in 2007 after seeing strange colourful creatures in the forest all the time while hiking and skiing off trail, and finally decided he had to find out what they were. The more he learned, the more interesting they seemed, and it just hasn’t stopped.

Danny belongs to the PNW Key Council, a group of amateur and professional mycologists and is a co-author of MycoMatch (formerly MatchMaker) with Ian Gibson, the free PNW mushroom ID program for the PC. He has a big interest in taxonomy and figuring out where all of the mushrooms fit into the fungal tree of life, and is currently trying to collect the DNA of every PNW species to determine which still need names.
