Description
Introduction to Fungi
Level: Beginner - Intermediate
Join experienced fungi and foraging teacher Sophie Wren to learn all about the fascinating kingdom of fungi.
This day course covers:
- An introduction to fungal biology and ecology
- An introduction to fungi classification and features
- Discovering and studying species 'in the field' during a walk through the woods
- Information about the different ways in which fungi have been used by people, from food and medicine to first aid and firelighters.
- Since it is close to Halloween, there will also be a focus on weird and wonderful facts about these fascinating beings, and on the poisons contained by some!
*Please note that although we may encounter edible species, this is a general introduction to fungi rather than a foraging course.
