We invite you to listen to Dr. Robin Wilgan’s lecture entitled "Subterranean fungi and the changing climate."

Climate shapes the distribution of the majority of living organisms, also trees and fungi. Truffles, highly regarded fungi with hypogeous fruitbodies, live in symbiosis with the roots of trees, e.g. oaks, hazel and hornbeam. In Europe, truffles are harvested mainly in the south of the continent, where climate change threaten their future existence. Concurrently, climate change creats suitable conditions for the development of truffles in Central Europe, including Poland.
