Laura Bogar

Laura Bogar is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Davis. The Bogar Lab studies symbiotic interactions between tree roots and ectomycorrhizal fungi. Laura is interested in how small-scale interactions between plant and fungal cells can scale up to affect how entire landscapes look and function. When she is not thinking about fungal ecology, she likes to run, cook, and experiment with dyeing using mushroom pigments.
