SUMMARY:The Potential for Mycofiltration of E. coli Pollution in The Crum Creek
DESCRIPTION:The Potential for Mycofiltration of E. coli Pollution in The Crum Creek Using T. versicolor and P. ostreatus \nThe Philadelphia Mycology Club  welcomes you to join us in our fifth installation of bimonthly meetings at the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences! We are excited to have a regular meeting space to work on some more in-depth community science projects and to welcome academic and professional mycologists to speak to our community about their work. \nEvent Description: \nMycoremediation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional wastewater and drinking water treatment\, as well as other environmental remediation methods. This project will design a mycofiltration system using mushroom species Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus. Water from a section of the Crum Creek\, located in Swarthmore\, Pennsylvania\, U.S.A\, will be sampled and filtered through this system to remove Escherichia coli (E. coli). The mycofiltered water will be compared to the Environmental Protection Agency standards for E. coli concentrations in recreational and drinking water to measure how effective T. versicolor or P. ostreatus may be at removing E. coli present in freshwater drinking sources. \nRegistration is limited. Please register in advance and cancel your tickets if you find you can no longer attend this event. \nEnter the Academy of Natural Sciences through the 19th Street entrance. If arriving late\, please ask to be directed to the BEES classroom. \n**This event is free and open to everyone. The PMC is funded entirely through donations. If you are able\, please consider giving an amount of your choice at checkout** \nBy registering for this event you grant the Philadelphia Mycology Club to use photographs and/or video of you taken at the event in publications\, online\, and in other communications related to the Philadelphia Mycology Club.
