BMS Identification Skills Workshop

Parkend, Forest of Dean

Tutors: TBA

Venue Website: Parkend

The Forest of Dean has been the site of mycological interest for many years and has seen several workshops. In 2011 we offered these courses for members of our local group's network. Interest exceeded our expectations and we booked up quickly, and had a waiting list.  We are therefore offering similar sessions  in 2012 to meet the demand.

The workshops will focus on macroscopic features, sorting out genera and help with microscopic identification of fungi down to species. Help with Identification of fungi with the aid of a microscope will be available in both sessions as will the  use of specialist keys and  microscopic technique. The workshops will be arranged as a low key affair and we will have two tutors. The workroom will be based in a house in Parkend which is situated in the centre of the forest enabling many sites to be within walking distance of the workrooms. There will be sufficient space for up to 9 places in the workroom ensuring individual attention.

Prices are based on shared ensuite 4*accommodation in 1 Hazledene, Parkend with the garden room and basement used as labs. Breakfast and lunchtime sandwich material will be provided for participants to make up their own provisions. Tutors not yet arranged.
