Heart-rot Hotel: Fungal communities in British Oaks

Rich is a conservation mycologist at Plantlife, with a background in researching fungal ecology, heart-rot communities, and rare species translocation. They have over 20 years experience of field and practical mycology, holding positions at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and Cardiff University, and have keenly engaged in fungal education both in life-long-learning and university settings.
