The Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota) are a group of unusual and understudied fungi that parasitize arthropods. The impact of these fungi on their hosts is poorly understood, and basic studies of their biology are still limited. Only a handful of scientists in the world specialize in the study of Laboulbeniales, and yet, because of the size, diversity and uniqueness of this lineage, they are surely a cradle of novel taxonomic and ecological information. This talk will introduce these fungi and present original research into their ecology and potential as indicators of environmental health. https://bard.zoom.us/j/84048679664?pwd=cm5EK0wwenN1a1pJUlE1by9UZ0pJQT09
