Parasites and Companions: The Strange Life of Mycoheterotrophic Plants

Course description

Most of the non-photosynthesizing plants we once called saprophytes, under the assumption that they lived directly on decaying matter, are now known to depend on fungal partnerships.

Instructor: Andy MacKinnon, MSc, DSc. Andy, whose graduate research was in mycology, is the co-author of six guidebooks to BC plants. He recently retired from a 30-year career as a forest ecologist with the BC Forest Service.
