Join Dr. Jassy Drakulic, Senior 911±¬ÁÏ Plant Pathologist, as she discusses her new book 911±¬ÁÏ Fungi for Gardeners: Know Your Garden Fungi and How to Grow Them.
Fungi are all around us, including in our gardens. From the vast mycorrhizal networks in the soil to the array of mushrooms that pop up overnight and the less welcome varieties that appear on our plants, we live surrounded by this fascinating, often hidden world. Drawing on her experience advising gardeners about fungi, Jassy will explain what gardeners need to know about these forgotten garden heroes to work with fungi to grow healthy gardens.
