You will spend a whole day in the field searching for fungi to identify. The day will begin with a brief introduction to the larger fungi - the various groups and their habitats. You will learn about the key characteristics necessary for identification, such as gill attachments and spore colours. Mycorrhizal associations (symbiotic relationships) with trees and other plant species will be discussed too.
This course is suitable for improvers. It is for those with a basic knowledge of fungi who wish to learn more about fungi classification and about physical characteristics which will assist in identification. A mixture of common and scientific names will be used.
