Welcome to the Fungal Ecology Lab
Welcome to the Fungal Ecology Lab
We study the ecology of fungi in natural and man-made systems. The main interest is to understand what are the forces that control the composition of fungal communities - check out our current projects here. If you are interested in our published work - our publication list is here.
Ari Jumpponen is an associate professor in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University.
Couple examples of our projects.
