Three Ways to See Wildlife After Dark
Spotting animals in the wild is hard, but researchers from The Nat have a few easy tricks up their sleeves. Here are three things you can do to spot wildlife when it's most active—at night.
Dylan Enright – Monday monthly meeting – Elections upcoming!!
Hello Myco Fam!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed your summer “break”!
Our official season kicks off again this Monday at 7pm with a special lecture::::
Dylan Enright is a 5th year microbiology Ph.D. candidate and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in the Glassman Lab at University of California Riverside. His research explores the effect that catastrophic wildfires (ie. “Mega-fires”) have on soil bacteria and fungi. His work includes DNA sequencing based analysis of soil microbial communities in addition to culturing fire adapted fungi and bacteria in the lab for microbial trait-based experiments.
ELECTIONS UPCOMING!!
Also, that time of the year is coming up when we, as myco enthusiasts, would like to help support our fungtastic organization by participating all things SDMYCO related, such as choosing speakers and putting these and other events together, or whatever the assignment may entail and where we can often find a few of us geeking out on mushroom anythings. There are several positions as indicated in the flyer below. The more hands we have, the easier it is on everyone and the more we are able to do. If you like and appreciate what we have going on and would like to see it continue, please consider filling one of the positions in our SDMYCO Board of Directors!!!
Thank you in advance and if interested, please apply here: https://forms.gle/nFZKQMYZJYzaTLUw6
Remember to check out our social media. There’s plenty of great things coming this new season!!!
Keep on rain dancing and can’t wait to see you this Monday!!
Mush love,
SDMYCO

MycoSymbiotics is a Decentralized Citizen Research Effort put on by William Padilla-Brown. Mycosymbiotics has its Head Research Facility based in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. We are a team of dedicated environmental regeneration enthusiasts, on a mission to better our local Ecology and Community through the use of Science!
Like the mycelial network, we branch out radically covering all aspects of Symbiotic biological/sociological function.Since 2015, MycoSymbiotics has kept its focus on collecting native Pennsylvania strains of gourmet and medicinal mushrooms from the wild to study in controlled environments. Since summer 2021, MycoSymbiotics has also made its Algal Culture Collection available. MycoSymbiotics hosts an annual festival the first weekend of August every year focused on increasing the ecological literacy of the attendees and the surrounding communities. Breaking down the name Myco-Fungi and Symbiotic- a close cooperative or interdependent relationship, we strive to develop mutually beneficial relationships with those around us and those we work with. In the big, wild world there are a lot of important players that get overlooked. Our team is focused on putting the unnoticed players into the spotlight by researching their potentials for Ecological Regeneration.
