The Fantastic World of Fungi
Join us as we take a day to begin to explore these spectacular organisms in the beautiful setting of the Ashdown Forest... Have you every wondered how
there can be nothing in a given place one day, and a stand of incredible 'toadstools' there the next? Have you ever noticed that some fungi will stain
and bruise all sorts of rainbow colours? That some will leak brightly colouredmilk, and others are covered in slime?... Some can even glow in the dark! From
taking a look at how some different types of fungi grow and work, to startingto learn how to go about competently identifying what you've found, to how to
sustainably and responsibly gather for the pot, this course aims to instill in you and enthuse you with a love of mycology that's hard to shake off!
