Creepy Tales From the Fungal Kingdom

A Field Museum lunch-hour talk that takes a darker turn through the fungal kingdom, timed to complement the museum's "Underground MISadventure: Zombie Fungus" exhibition. Senior Research Scientist Matt Nelsen and Assistant Collections Manager Wyatt Gaswick lead a session on Friday, October 16, from 11 AM to 1 PM, covering the fungi that manipulate and infect their hosts in genuinely unsettling ways—murderous mushrooms, not the benign kind. Included with general admission to the museum.
