Insect-Killing Fungi with Tradd Cotter of Mushroom Mountain — Mushroom Webinar

For the October edition of the Cornell Small Farms Program’s monthly mushroom webinar, Tradd Cotter of Mushroom Mountain visited the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY, and taught us about mycopesticides — specific fungi that can be used for insect and weed control. Tradd discussed the lessons fungi teach us about balancing the challenges to crop and landscape issues at home and on farms. By understanding the ways fungi work, you can "teach" them to suppress a wide range of crop pathogens, nuisance insects, and more.

This talk was supported by the Cornell Small Farms Program and School of Integrated Plant Science at Cornell University.

The Specialty Mushroom project of the Cornell Small Farms Program conducts their free monthly webinars generally on the first Wednesday of each month, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. They are recorded and posted for later viewing on CornellMushrooms.org and on the Cornell Small Farms Program’s YouTube channel.
