SUMMARY:Brian Perry: Illuminating Fungi - the Science of Fungal Bioluminesc
 ence
DESCRIPTION:Fungal bioluminescence was first described by Aristotle (384-32
 2 B.C.E.)\, and continues to fascinate and puzzle scientists today. While 
 over 125 species of fungi are known to produce luminescent mushrooms or my
 celium\, the chemical and genetic basis of the light-producing reaction wa
 s only recently discovered\, and the reason these fungi glow remains somew
 hat of a mystery. Come learn about our current understanding of the evolut
 ion\, ecology and biochemistry of this phenomenon. And yes\, there will be
  lots of pictures of glowing mushrooms!\n\nBrian Perry is a Professor of 
 Biology at California State University East Bay\, and Director of the HAY 
 Fungarium. He received his Master's Degree from San Francisco State Univer
 sity under the guidance of Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin\, and his Ph.D. from Ha
 rvard University where he studied with Dr. Donald H. Pfister. Brian has be
 en studying fungi since 1995\, and has published over 45 papers in scienti
 fic journals. In addition to studying the evolution of fungal bioluminesce
 nce\, he also conducts research on mushrooms and other fungi of Vanuatu\, 
 the assembly and biogeography of island fungal communities\, endophytic fu
 ngi\, and the systematics of Mycena and allied genera. Brian teaches sev
 eral mycology courses at Cal State East Bay and the Sierra Nevada Field Ca
 mpus.\nStreaming:\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/8896485560
