  • Wednesday, May 11, 9:30 am – The Hidden Forest

    The Lexington Field and Garden Club will present Dr. Susan Goldhor on Wednesday, May 11 beginning at 9:30 am at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum, 33 Marrett Road in Lexington, on the topic of The Hidden Forest.  Few of us know about the hidden organisms that nourish, protect, infect, and destroy the visible portions of our ecosystems.  More than 90% of the world’s plants have fungal partners, without which the world would be a vastly different place.  Fungi depend on plants for oxygen and carbohydrates.  Like us, they have a complicated relationship with the plant kingdom, acting sometimes as good gardeners and sometimes as destroyers.  Photo from www.mushroomthejournal.com.
