A one-hour lecture will be hosted by the instructor. The topics covered include an introduction to mycology, mushrooms and mycelia, molds and slime molds, yeast and unicellular fungi, and a scientist spotlight. The first four sections cover fundamental concepts and information while the fifth section is meant to be updated and modified by an educator to reflect current trends in mycology. The target audience of this OER is first or second-year college students who are focused on a biological field. The lecture includes a think-pair-share activity where students discuss graphs and figures relating to lichens as bioindicators of air quality. Another class activity is also provided where students learn about spore germination conditions and how many spores become sporing bodies.
