Join Alison Pouliot is she leads us in discovering the vital role of fungi in soil plant and human health.
Fauna and flora are a well recognised as part of biodiversity and conservation, but the Third F - the Fungi - are finally receiving more attention. In this workshop you'll learn about the vital role of fungi in soil, plant and human health.
We'll use fungi as our starting point to learn about the vital architecture they provide in soils and the alliances they form with plants and animals. We'll discover, up close, how fungi recycle vital nutrients, completing the cycle of life.
Following an interactive indoor identification session around a specimen table we'll head to the field to the hunt for fungi and their kin. You'll learn to recognise not just a variety of fungi but the vital clues that help us understand forest histories and health.
