About this Event

The Fungus Among Us

Speaker: Steve Altman

Fungi are not animals and not vegetables. They were critical to creating and maintaining our ecosystem and may be critical to the future of civilization. This visually impressive zoom describes what they are, their role in creating and maintaining our natural world and recent discoveries that evidence their importance to our future. It seems they have been around forever and plan to stay here.

Steve Altman is new to studying fungi but has enjoyed photographing them for years. He is a past president of NNV as well as the DC Jewish Community Center. After retiring from the Department of Justice, Steve served as a mediator in over 1500 cases. His volunteer activities now include serving as a high school track coach.
