Mushrooms and other fungi will be collected and brought back to McCrone Research Institute where there will be a lecture on general mycology and the use of microscopy in fungal identification. This will be followed by a lab session where people will have the opportunity to examine the collected fungi macroscopically and microscopically to try their hand at identification.
