There is a Fungus Among Us! The Hidden, Vital, Ubiquitous World of Fungi Speaker: Dan Gruber, McDowell Sonoran Conservancy Citizen Scientist Date: Saturday, October 10, 2026 Time: 2:30 PM to 3:45 PM Description: Fungi are everywhere: on rocks, in soil, in the air, in the water, and inside most plants and animals including us.
They play vital but often invisible and unappreciated roles in the ecosystem and in our daily lives. Learn about what fungi are and how they work, some of their benefits like making possible our bread our beer and some of their downsides like causing Valley fever.
Bio: Since retiring as a principal and senior partner at Deloitte Consulting, Dan has served in volunteer capacities with conservation-related organizations including the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy and the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance. He was a founder of the Conservancy’s research center, the Parson’s Field Institute, and its Citizen Science program.
He has authored several research papers focused on local geology, contributed to several books, and teaches courses about the natural history of central Arizona. Dan has a B.S. in Philosophy and Physics and a master’s degree in operations research.
