Program: Plants that Eat Truffles for Lunch
Speaker: Dan Luoma
Location: Room 2602, Cordley Hall, Oregon State University Campus, 2701 SW Campus Way or via Zoom.
Dan will discuss a group of fascinating plants that have gourmet dietary preferences. Interactions between forest plants and their associated beneficial root fungi provide a broader context for this talk. He will give special attention to those plants without chlorophyll that depend on truffle-forming fungi to meet their nutritional needs. Dan is a retired professor of forest mycology who continues to collaborate with the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society and the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Oregon State University.
