1st Symposium of Fungal Diversity Conservation in Cloud Forest

The 1st Symposium of Fungal Diversity Conservation in Cloud Forest emerges as result of the activities of the research groups of the Laboratory of Molecular and Computational Biology of Fungi (UFMG) and MIND.Funga (MICOLAB-UFSC) in the quest to get to know the Funga of a megadiverse ecosystem, full of endemisms and heavily threatened, the Cloud Forests. The main objective of the symposium is to demonstrate to the participants the importance of studying Funga in this environment. The event’s target audience is undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and researchers. The speakers (national and international) will present results and perspectives of research carried out with fungi in Cloud Forests around the world, from the perspective of biodiversity, the potential for discovering new species, ecology, and conservation.
