The Fascinating World of Fungi
October 1 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
From mushroom tattoos and T-shirt graphics to fungal-infused coffee, gummies, and nutritional supplements promising physical and spiritual well-being, fungi are having a cultural moment. Despite their growing popularity, fungi remain mysterious and misunderstood. Drawing from his new book, The Complete Fungi: Evolution, Diversity and Ecology (Princeton University Press, 2026), David Hibbett will discuss the diversity of fungi, their impacts on human affairs, and their roles in the evolution of life on Earth.
