Jiří Dihel - Hidden Rulers of the Forest: Secrets of the Fungal Kingdom

Most of us see mushrooms only as something to collect for frying or soup. Yet what we put into a basket is only the tip of the iceberg: organisms that are neither plants nor animals, yet quietly shape life around the world.

Jiří Dihel's lecture looks at fungi from another perspective: the micro-world beneath our feet and the real rulers of the forest. Dihel is a mycologist who advises people on which mushrooms to collect and when, gives public talks and appears on radio and television.
