Join CSWC for a free educational speaker event at Level Beer! Mycorrhizal networks involving plant roots and fungi teach us that our natural world is interconnected and collaborative. We will talk about the potentials of partnering with fungi and how to create a fungi-focused landscape that can be climate resilient and improve the health of humans and the larger world.
