Fungus: Friend, Food, and Medicine

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute - Aquinas College - Grand Rapids

Spring 2025, Date: TBD

I'm thrilled to provide this brief introduction to the role of fungi in human development and medicine, both ancient and modern.

From antibiotics to food to remediation of toxic industrial pollutants, fungi are the most underappreciated kingdom of life. Creating our soils, fermenting our foods, bolstering human immunity, and worshipped since ancient times for their potential spiritual significance and mystery.

Join us for this 90 minute presentation on enthnomycology!
