Microfungi on Land Plants

15/06/14 and 13/07/14

Minute fungi are widespread on living and dead plant materials of all kinds, but are rarely recorded. Even those interested in larger fungi do not always know where to start with the microscopic ones. This two-day course introduces these organisms, and explains their characters and how they can be identified. Visits to Box Hill and Headley Heath will demonstrate field techniques, and participants are encouraged to collect material between the two dates, for examination at the second. No previous knowledge will be assumed.
