Matt Kasson (Associate Professor) and Brian Lovett (postdoc) are both from West Virginia University and explain mycology, entomology, and plant pathology. They discuss the importance of fungi and how fungi work as decomposers and create things. They create chocolate, antibiotics, breads, beverages, and many other things that we use in our daily lives. Then we learn about the zombie cicadas and how some fungi interact with insects and in some cases control their functions.
