Jump back into the swing of NAMA's Zoom Webinar series by joining Eva Gordon as she presents Basic Mycology for Educators. This presentation will offer an intro to Kingdom Fungi, including taxonomy, anatomy and life cycle, ecological roles and the importance of fungi to the functioning of our world's biome. Eva will focus on Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, spotlighting a few of the major groups within these phyla. The class is designed to help teachers navigate through various available resources, including lesson plans and hands-on activities, as well as how to cover the science standards while teaching mycology -- but all of us can benefit from this refresher to our basic understanding of this humblingly vast kingdom of life!
