An Introduction to Fungi (31/10/2024)

Tutor:  Martin Allison

In the Autumn the woodlands of Sussex contain an incredible diversity of amazing fungi in an incredible array of sizes, shapes and colours. But with thousands of species in Sussex alone, where do you start when it comes to accurately identifying them?

Fungi expert Martin Allison will give you the perfect opportunity to learn all about fungi on this one-day course aimed at beginners.

On this course we will spend the day searching for fungi at the Ebernoe Common Sussex Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve.  

During the morning we will explore the wide range of woodland fungi that can be found at this site which is famous for its fungal diversity.

We will return to the car park for lunch where we will use identification guides to help us to identify some specimens collected during the morning, before heading back into another part of the woodland where we will attempt to put our new found knowledge to the test!

Location:  Meet at Ebernoe Common nature reserve next to the church. Nearest Postcode GU28 9LD  The church and car park can be found at the end of the lane opposite the red telephone box.
