The subject of the Tuesday, June 13, 2017 meeting is “All About Fungi” presented by Arian Farid. Despite being extremely important organisms, fungi remain overlooked by most.
Arian will give a brief overview of the diversity of kingdom fungi, how they function, and their ecological roles in relation to plants. He will also showcase some common Florida species along the way.
Arian holds a BS in Environmental Science and Policy from University of South Florida (USF), and is enrolled in his Master’s degree in the Department of cell biology, microbiology and molecular biology at USF.
