 tely via Zoom.\nFrom brewing beer to producing antibiotics\, modern societ
 y relies on fungal life processes to fulfill our desires and overcome our 
 obstacles. How about the Buckthorn problem? Can fungi help us get rid of i
 nvasive Buckthorn? This is the central question of Ryan's research in the 
 UMN Forest Pathology lab. Findings from the past two years of research wil
 l be presented.\nRyan Franke grew up in Eagan\, MN and learned to revere t
 he natural world at a young age. During a fall camping trip around Lake Su
 perior in 2015\, he became fascinated with fungi and shortly thereafter jo
 ined the Minnesota Mycological Society. His fascination with fungi mushroo
 med after joining the society\, opening a gourmet mushroom cultivation bus
 iness in 2017\, editing the MMS newsletter from 2018-2020\, and most recen
 tly joining the mycology focused Forest Pathology Lab at the UMN in 2023. 
 Read about his research here.\n\nPresentations are recorded and posted a f
