The Scariest Fungi: An Infectious Talk By Hamilton Pevec

Mushrooms that shut down your liver weeks after dinner. A fungus that turns ants into zombies, and another that makes cicadas lose their abdomens while still trying to mate. Invisible molds and yeasts that K*ll nearly 4 million people a year, and the fungi wiping out frogs, bats and forests, including here in Colorado. Join WCMA for a tour of the dark side of the fungal kingdom: poisoners, body snatchers, infections and ecosystem destroyers. Then learn why fungi are still mostly our allies, and how to stay safe when you forage.
