Welcome
Welcome to the Fungal Biology Supergroup at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our FBS meets once a month to hear talks from the lab groups on campus studying fungi. These meetings are open to all and cover a vast diversity of topics under the umbrella of fungal biology. Each month is hosted by a different group, and talks are typically informal descriptions of research which can serve as practice for conference or dissertation talks. Please look around our website for more information.
