Hare's foot inkcap mushrooms at Sheringham Park

About

Fungi are a fascinating and diverse group, but the sheer number of species can make identifying them a daunting prospect. Join mycology expert Dr Tony Leech for a day-long course to help you with the process of fungi identification, including a foray and an indoor session.
The day will start with an illustrated talk looking at examples of fungi species found in Britain. The group will then set out on a field visit (foray), including a walk of up to 2 miles, to collect and examine specimens from the variety of habitats found at Sheringham Park. Specimens found will be identified during the practical and hands-on afternoon session, using field guides.
The day will conclude with advice on developing your interest further, including the collecting of fungi to eat, and look at the range of literature and online resources available.
