Her work broadly focuses on community responses to disturbance, which feedback to influence plant and fungal community structure and ecosystem functioning. Maltz studied at the University of California, Irvine where she received my Ph.D. in <a fr-original-style="" href="https://ecoevo.bio.uci.edu/" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Ecology and Evolutionary Biology</a>, with an emphasis on Ecological Restoration and Fungi.

Specifically, she evauated which restoration techniques affect fungi along with methods for restoring mycorrhizal fungal function within degraded landscapes. Maltz was a UC President&rsquo;s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Division of Biomedical Sciences at UC Riverside between 2020 and 2023. Her research overall focuses on fungal communities and functional ecology in novel ecosystems, including pumice plains, drying lakebeds, and the lung mycobiome. Danielle Stevenson I Centre for Applied Ecological Remediation (CAER) Dr. Danielle Stevenson is an environmental toxicologist and applied mycologist dedicated to advancing research and application into fungal soil and waste remediation. With over a decade of experience in bioremediation research and community-based environmental health initiatives, she specializes in the use of fungi to degrade pollutants and restore contaminated ecosystems. Danielle&rsquo;s work bridges science, practice, and policy, with a focus on building partnerships across communities, academia, and government. Her PhD research identified effective plant-fungi combinations for cleaning up polluted sites and launched a youth training program now expanding nationally. Paulette Goyes I UCONN Maya Elson I Regenerative Mycologist | SJSUMaya Elson is a teacher, naturalist, mycologist, organizer and lover of the wild. Maya was the Executive Director of CoRenewal from 2016-2021, where she works to enact effective and just solutions to environmental and social crises by working in collaboration with fungi. She is the co-founder and Program Coordinator of the Post Fire Biofiltration Initiative, an effort and experiment using fungi to prevent toxins from burned homes from entering waterways. Maya is one of the founding members of the Radical Mycology network, and has started Applied Mycology groups in Olympia, WA and the San Francisco Bay area. She&rsquo;s worked as a campaign organizer with a number of climate justice and wilderness defense struggles over many years. Since 2006, Maya has been spent supporting youth in finding their place in their ecological and human communities by working with Wild Child Santa Cruz, Gaia Passages, and other programs. She has been regularly leading mushroom foraging trips for adults for over 4 years. She holds a Graduate Certificate in Ecopsychology, and weaves together human and ecological remediation through her work teaching Mycopermaculture, Fungal Biology, Mycorenewal and Mushroom Identification.
