Students recently joined biologist Claire Burkum from St. Lawrence University for a fungi-focused walk through the Extension Learning Farm’s sugar bush. They learned about the important role fungi play in agriculture and the environment, then headed into the woods to identify species firsthand. With plenty of wet weather this season, there was no shortage of fungi to discover!
A big THANK YOU to Claire for sharing her expertise and helping students uncover the hidden world of fungi right in our own backyard!
