Dr. Bitty Roy will speak about her recent research in Ecuador. Her talk is entitled: “Mushroom mimicry by Dracula orchids and other cool stuff in the cloud forest.” This promises to be a very interesting look at some of the more exotic fungi– as well as a group of plants that would like you to think they are fungi!
Dr. Bitty Roy is a professor of Biology at University of Oregon in the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. She spoke for CMS before on the topic of “Fungal Rusts and One Smut” and conducts research in many parts of the world including the Willamette Valley, Switzerland and Ecuador.
