Mushrooms, or more precisely, fungi are all around us all the time. Learn how they shape our environment, help to feed us and affect or lives in innunerous ways.
This talk will explain some of the wildly different forms and lifestyles that different species have evolved into and the niches that they fill. In particular, it will cover some of the fungi you may commonly see anywhere in the UK and what they are doing for us there.
Chris Knowles is both an ecologist and a consultant field mycologist, carrying out fungus surveys for a variety of clients. He is also an active member of his local fungus group and the recorder for Edinburgh & Lothians.
