Encounters with Fungi: Workshop & Foray with Alison Pouliot

Join Alison Pouliot for a highly interactive workshop at Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens. With both theoretical and practical components, Alison introduces participants to the diversity, ecology and curiosities of the Kingdom Fungi, specific to fungi found in region but also within a wider Australian and international context. It includes a 90 minute session around a specimen display table where participants will learn the basics of fungus identification, fungal ecology, and the natural and cultural history of fungi. Fungi from the local area will be displayed, discussed and examined.

Following the indoor session, we will partake in a two hour foray through various local habitat types to search for species of interest. Participants will learn to recognise the various diagnostic characteristics used to identify fungi in the field and understand their ecological significance in local ecosystems. Participants are encouraged to bring along specimens for identification.
