3)    Identify  collected  fungi,  especially  mushrooms,  using  visible,  microscopic    and  other  features.    

4) Assess the importance of fungi to humans assources of foods, drugs, and poisons. Discuss thecultivation of fungi for those uses.

5) Learn the unique and shared features of eachgroup, including biology, form, reproductivestrategies. Discuss key ecological roles played byfungi, -­as decomposers, symbionts, pathogens.

6) Highlight species that have impacted humanhealth, culture,and even politics!
