FUNGUS DISCOVERY WORKSHOP & FORAY
As part of the fabulous STRATHBOGIE FESTIVAL OF FUNGI please join us again for this signature workshop to discover all things fungal.
Relative to plants and animals, the diversity and significance of fungi is little known. Yet fungi are vital in creating and stabilising soils, nourishing and interconnecting plants, recycling nutrients, retaining and filtering water, restoring environmental damage and essentially underpinning ecosystem health and resilience.
In this workshop you’ll be treated to a display of amazing fungi collected from the region and further afield and learn about the basic principles of fungus identification, their ecological significance, and cultural aspects such as edibility and toxicity and their use in land restoration.
Following an interactive indoor session around the specimen table, we’ll then head to Mount Wombat on an exciting hunt for fungi.
You might also like to catch some video highlights from the last festival at this link. 2025 promises to be an equally magical festival. See you there!
