Delve into the fascinating world of Cordyceps with Melvin Xu, a mycologist researching Cordyceps at Melbourne University. Cordyceps are known for turning insects into zombies. But they also play an important role in the ecosystem and have a mysterious life-cycle often living as plant endophytes. They have also been used by humans in traditional medicine and as bio-control. Learn about their life-cycles, role in the environment, human uses and threats to their ecology.

Tickets are by donation. Proceeds go to citizen science and fungal conservation projects and all donations are appreciated. Tickets available here: http://tdy.cl/se/SKqrK7A
