Description
Join Dr. Ehren Moler and me as we discuss a host swapping alien invader. We discuss this master of disguise of a fungal disease and what it means for forests of North America. We even have a throw-back to the Magic School Bus of our youths. Photo: White bark pine (Pinus albicaulis) affected by white pine blister rust disease near Yellowstone National Park.
