Place: Tartu, Lai 40-218 (Vaga auditorium)
Fungal (though not lichen-forming fungal) art by Peeter Laurits (pic from here)
Summary:
Lichens are increasingly regarded not simply as dual partnerships between fungi and algae, but as a microcosm comprised of diverse assemblages of specific fungal and microbial lineages. I give a brief overview about recent advances and incorporate some examples from my own work.
