I am a tour guide and environmental educator in the city with the largest urban park system in North America. I have a passion for ecology, especially as it pertains to fungi and the role they play in helping our ecosystems thrive. I really like tiny little fungi with interesting niches that are rarely observed, particularly rusts and other non-threatening plant pathogens.
