UPDATE ON AUTUMN 2020 MUSHROOM WORKSHOPS & FORAYS

Given the current situation, fungus forays and workshops in the next six weeks have been postponed until 2021.

Workshops scheduled for June 2020 will be reviewed in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, a series of online workshops have been scheduled. We really hope you can join us!

MUSHROOM DISCOVERY WORKSHOP

Although the world is in lockdown, the fungi are running riot out there in the forest! The recent rains could mean we are in for a bumper fungus season. This online workshop introduces participants to the diversity, ecology and curiosities of the Kingdom Fungi. In the first part of the workshop participants will learn how to recognise the major fungus morphogroups; the various parts of different types of fungi; and the features used to make identifications in the field. We will then work through participants’ specimens and identify them and discuss them. Don’t forget to bring along some fungus specimens.

Further to the workshops, you might also be interested in some recent podcasts and articles as listed below.
