Wooragee Hall and Community Centre

In this workshop we will engage multiple senses to examine the major diagnostic features of edible fungi alongside their toxic lookalikes. We will also follow the principles of ‘ecological foraging’ – an approach based on care, conservation and an understanding of ecosystem dynamics.

This workshop includes both an indoor session around a specimen table followed by a field foray. It introduces participants to the diversity of the Kingdom Fungi, and the basic principles of fungus identification and fungal ecology.
