Description
his course delves into the captivating world of fungi, a kingdom of life often overlooked but essential to ecosystems, human health, and industry. Designed for college students, it provides a comprehensive introduction to mycology, focusing on the biology, diversity, and ecological roles of fungi. Students will explore the structure, reproduction, and classification of fungi, alongside their symbiotic relationships with plants, animals, and microorganisms.The course highlights the critical roles fungi play in nutrient cycling, soil health, and ecosystems as decomposers and mutualistic partners. It also examines their importance in biotechnology, medicine, and food production, from antibiotics and immunosuppressants to fermented foods and biofuels. Students will investigate fungal pathogens affecting plants, animals, and humans, gaining insights into disease mechanisms, diagnosis, and control strategies.
Through engaging lectures, hands-on laboratory sessions, and fieldwork, students will learn to identify common fungi, understand their life cycles, and appreciate their applications in research and industry. Special topics will include fungal genetics, the impact of climate change on fungal populations, and emerging opportunities in mycological research.This course is ideal for biology majors, pre-medical students, and anyone intrigued by fungi’s hidden but essential contributions to life on Earth. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in mycology, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to pursue further studies or careers in biology, environmental science, or biotechnology.
