FIRE AND FUNGI STUDY GROUP
Interested in learning more about the role of Fungi in wildfire?
The Fire and Fungi Study Group is an online community for people interested in learning more about the role of Fungi in Fire Ecology, post-fire ecological regeneration, post-fire mycoremediation of toxins, and related topics. Our goal is to learn more about fire and fungal ecology, as well as connect with others and build capacity to implement regenerative practices to mitigate catastrophic wildfire. Our reading materials will be stored in Google Drive, and will include many articles published in scientific journals that are not typically available to the public. Each week we'll have a different article to read during the week, and will meet on Zoom for 1hr each week. Participants will have the opportunity to sign up for a date to summarize the article for the Zoom session, and lead a discussion with the group. In addition, we will invite guest speakers to share their insights and speak about their experiences for special Zoom sessions. The information gathered will be open source; it may be used to advance and apply for new CoRenewal projects, and may be used by any individual or organization.
We meet on Zoom Thursdays 4-5pm PST April 16-July 2.
You are welcome to join at any time.
If there is interest, we may continue the group for longer.

- Create more educational opportunities and build a network of mutual support for ecological projects
- Research fungal and bacterial communities capable of bio-degrading petroleum and rehabilitating petroleum-contaminated landscapes
- Investigate the use of mycorrhizal fungal spores to promote regeneration in post-fire landscapes
- Research how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can be applied to improve the restoration of degraded and heavy metal contaminated agricultural soils
