This program will meet the following learning outcomes:

  • Examine what defines a fungus and sets them apart from plants and animals.
  • Describe the life cycle of mushrooms and how they interact with other life in the forest.
  • Identify five common mushrooms found in Michigan.
  • Name three ways fungi benefit our ecosystems.
