Beyond the Forest Floor: Exploring Coastal & Marine Fungi
Guest Speaker: Rosie Trevino
Dive into the hidden world of fungi that thrive far from the forest — in salt‑sprayed shorelines, tidal creeks, marshes, and even fully aquatic environments. Austin‑based engineer and mycologist Rosie Trevino shares her research on fungi living in extreme coastal ecosystems, drawing from her immersive three‑week field course at the Chincoteague Bay Field Station.
Through Rosie’s systems‑thinking lens, you’ll explore:
Salt‑tolerant fungi and their remarkable adaptations
Aquatic fungal networks beneath coastal waters
“Fungal farmers” and their complex symbiotic relationships
Stunning nature photography documenting these rarely seen species and landscapes
