Saturday 02 June 2012 Fungi workshop:
Fungi – An Introduction to a Curious KingdomFungi - An introduction to a curious kingdom workshop will introduce participants to the diversity and curiosities of the fungi kingdom. This workshop includes an interactive and illustrated seminar addressing the major fungal groups, the basics of fungus identification, fungal ecology, natural and cultural history of fungi, followed by an exciting foray in local forests to search for species of interest. Many fungal specimens from the local area will be displayed, discussed and examined during the workshop. Participants will be provided with supplementary notes.
Sunday 03 June 2012 Fungi workshop:
The Bizarre & the beautiful – A Deeper Exploration of a Curious Kingdom This workshop will take participants deeper into the fungi kingdom with a closer look at the major characteristics used to identify fungi in the field. We’ll also explore some of the evolutionary peculiarities that have resulted in fungi being such a strange and intriguing group. This workshop includes an illustrated seminar, a display of local specimens, an interactive specimen identification session and a foray into local forests. Participants are encouraged to bring along specimens for the identification session and will also be provided with supplementary notes.
It is not necessary to have done The Fungi – An Introduction to a Curious Kingdom to do The Bizarre & the beautiful – A Deeper Exploration of a Curious Kingdom, but ideally you'd be familiar with the main features of a mushroom that are used to identify fungi in the field.
Further information can be obtained from Alison’s website. Details of individual workshops will be sent to participants closer to the event.
