SUMMARY:Slow Mushrooming: Mushroom Identification Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fungi are diverse\, delicious and sometimes deadly. With interest in foraging for wild food on the rise\, learning to accurately identify fungi reduces both poisoning risk to humans and harm to the environment. \nDeveloping the skills to find fungi requires slowness\, not speed. This workshop\, led by acclaimed mycologist Alison Pouliot\, will focus on assisting participants to identify a few edible species thoroughly\, rather than many superficially. \nWe 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. \nFollowing an interactive indoor identification session around a specimen table we will then head to the field to search for fungi. \nThis workshop is of value to those who want to learn to identify any fungi\, not just edible species. \nPlease note that although we won’t be collecting fungi during the foray\, as we may be in areas where collecting is forbidden\, you’ll get to learn many skills for finding and identifying fungi and have a memorable foray! \nParticipants are welcome to bring fungus specimens to the workshop for identification. \nTickets: $60 \nBookings: events.humanitix.com/fungi25 \nWe have two fungi workshops with Alison Pouliot at Wooragee over the 17 & 18 May weekend.\nSee the Humanitix listing for details and bookings of both events. \nThis event is supported by Wodonga Urban Landcare Network\, Wooragee Landcare group\, and Mid Ovens Landcare Consortium\, for their members and communities.

SUMMARY:Reading the Fungal Landscape: Mushroom Identification & Fungal Ecology Foray
DESCRIPTION:Relative to plants and animals\, the diversity and significance of fungi is little known. Yet fungi are vital in creating and stabilising soils\, nourishing and interconnecting plants\, recycling nutrients\, retaining and filtering water\, restoring environmental damage and essentially underpinning ecosystem health and resilience. \nThis workshop\, led by acclaimed mycologist Alison Pouliot\, includes both an indoor session around a specimen table followed by a field foray. The workshop introduces participants to the diversity of the Kingdom Fungi and the basic principles of fungus identification and fungal ecology. \nYou’ll learn how to identify fungi using the senses\, field guides and other resources. In particular\, we will explore the functional roles of fungi in various ecosystem types and different approaches to incorporating them in conservation\, land management\, biodiversity monitoring and bush regeneration. \nEven when fungi aren’t producing mushrooms\, their ‘tracks and traces’ are present in the environment. We’ll examine various habitat types like old wood\, living trees and soils to look for clues of the processes and functions performed by fungi in the environment. What do they tell us about tree and ecosystem health? Which are indicators of old growth?\nAnd how do fungi respond to fire\, soil compaction and other environmental stresses? You’ll get to do the detective work to ‘read’ the environment through a fungal lens! \nParticipants are welcome to bring fungus specimens to the workshop for identification. \nTickets: $60 \nBookings: events.humanitix.com/fungi25 \nWe have two fungi workshops with Alison Pouliot at Wooragee over the 17 & 18 May weekend.\nSee the Humanitix listing for details and bookings of both. \nThis event is supported by Wodonga Urban Landcare Network\, Wooragee Landcare group\, and Mid Ovens Landcare Consortium\, for their members and communities.
