We invite you to listen to Prof. Tomasz Leski’s lecture entitled “Forest without fungi. Is it possible?”
Fungi are characterized not only by great morphological diversity, but first of all functional diversity. This diversity of functions performed by saprobiontic, symbiotic (including mycorrhizal) and pathogenic fungi determines the flow of matter and energy in the forest ecosystem, provision of water and minerals to plants, as well as the health status of trees. As a result, fungi are considered as a key group of organisms that ensure the development and functioning of forests.
