DESCRIPTION:Biological Control of Invasive Buckthorn with Native Fungi\nSpe
 aker: Ryan Franke\n\nOur August 11th meeting will be shared remotely via Z
 oom.\nFrom brewing beer to producing antibiotics\, modern society relies o
 n fungal life processes to fulfill our desires and overcome our obstacles.
  How about the buckthorn problem? Can fungi help us get rid of invasive bu
 ckthorn? This is the central question of Ryan's research in the UMN Forest
  Pathology lab. Findings from the past two years of research will be prese
 nted.\nRyan Franke grew up in Eagan\, MN and learned to revere the natural
  world at a young age. During a fall camping trip around Lake Superior in 
 2015\, he became fascinated with fungi and shortly thereafter joined the M
 innesota Mycological Society. His fascination with fungi mushroomed after 
 joining the society\, opening a gourmet mushroom cultivation business in 2
 017\, editing the MMS newsletter from 2018-2020\, and most recently joinin
 g the mycology focused Forest Pathology Lab at the UMN in 2023. Read about
  his research here.\n\n\n\nPresentations are recorded and posted a few day
