Dr. Mary Cole – Pathogenic fungi – plant pathogens – problems of our making, not theirs!!
- Fungi all have a role and place in the diverse ecosystem that is Life on Earth.
- Fungi became ‘pathogens’ because of our monoculture style of agriculture.
- Fungi have an imperative role in sequestering carbon in the soil, holding water in the soil, and building resilience in the face of climate threats to agriculture
