Description:
Cost: $160.00 - Lodging included
This course will provide a thorough introduction to fungi and the role they play in the northern Rockies ecosystem. We will study approximately 40 genera of fungi, their macroscopic features, spores and ecological niches. We will look at the ecological role of fungi in forest ecosystems and the effect mushrooms can have on management practices. Since spring and fall species are quite different, be sure to sign up for our Fall Mushroom Foray, October 7-8, 2017 to get a complete mushroom experience. Lodging is included at Field Camp for the duration of the course.
