We welcome you to join the Philadelphia Mycology Club at the Discovery Center for a lecture presented by Todd Elliott:

From zombie ants to truffle-munching apes! This talk will explore the many fascinating ways that fungi and animals interact and impact the ecosystems around us. These associations range from parasitic to symbiotic and are vital to the health of natural communities all over the world.
