Join Cosmic Radio for an interview with Cal Poly Humboldt's beloved Biology Professor Terry Henkel.
Mycology is a mainstay of the Humboldt Botany Program with courses in mycology, forest pathology and mushroom identification.
"My research investigates macrofungal biodiversity and ecological relationships in the remote tropical rainforests of South America's Guiana Shield and the Guineo-Congolian region of Central Africa. My lab also examines the overlooked but important roles that native forest pathogenic fungi have in shaping forest communities in Northern California".
Terry has an amazing and relaxed style of proficiently teaching us more about the Fungi Kingdom both here in the United States and abroad. This is my final Fungal Kingdom episode ( for now) after a powerhouse of mycologist guests including David Hibbett, Joseph Heitman and Robert Douglas-check them all out!!
