Category: Course

Students will be introduced to the fleshy ascomycetes and basidiomycetes that occur on the Highlands Plateau during peak mushroom season. Emphasis will be placed on the analysis of macro- and micro-morphological features in the identification of taxa. The daily routine will consist of a morning lecture followed by a field trip until early or mid-afternoon. Transportation on field trips will be in a station van. Collections will be examined and identified after returning from the field and an opportunity provided to assemble a collection of dried fleshy fungi. Microscopes and chemical reagents necessary for accurate species determinations will be available for use. In the evenings, the laboratory will be open for additional work on collections.
