SUMMARY:Plant Recognition Group 'Getting to know agaric fungi (mushrooms and toadstools)'
DESCRIPTION:The next Plant Recognition Group workshop will focus on agaric fungi (mushrooms and toadstools). Heino Lepp from the mycology collection of the Australian National Herbarium will talk about the macroscopic features that help identify agarics and will have fresh specimens on hand.  A compound microscope is necessary for the identification of many species but\, even for an expert\, the first step in identification is a look at the macroscopic features. The aim of the session is to help you learn how to look at agarics in that first step. Binocular microscopes and other aids for identification will be available for the workshop. \nWhen:  1.30 – 4.00 pm on Thursday 21 May 2026.\nWhere: Solander Room\, Banksia Centre\, ANBG \nBooking ESSENTIAL: Please send your name and phone number to plantname@friendsanbg.org.au   Seats are limited for this session\, so booking ahead is mandatory. \nPlease advise at least a day in advance if you need to cancel your booking\, so that a member on the waiting list can be offered the place.
