Help us protect our waterways after the fires with fungi!
As the rainy season nears, the Western US is threatened by widespread contamination from burned structures and likely unprecedented harm to sensitive ecosystems.
CoRenewal is researching ways that fungi can help using a novel technology called mycowattles.

 After the recent catastrophic wildfires in California, many people are concerned about sediment erosion and toxic ash moving into critical waterways, harming aquatic ecosystems and polluting drinking water.
A grassroots coalition is forming to install biodegradable and biologically active wattles and other remediation/erosion control measures to protect threatened waterways, and collect valuable scientific data for future efforts.

Through this seminar, Maya Elson will leverage real-world examples, including CoRenewal’s efforts to explore fungal communities within an oil-contaminated region of Ecuador and research into post-fire restoration in California using belowground microorganisms, such as plant-supporting mycorrhizal fungi. In this online seminar, Maya will explore basic fungal biology, as well as cover techniques for mushroom cultivation, biofiltration, and bioremediation with fungi and bacteria.
