During this program, you will gain an understanding of fungal anatomy, behaviour, life cycles, evolutionary history and the various ecological niches that they occupy in our environment. You will also learn the fundamental skills necessary for confidently differentiating between and identifying species of fungi that can be found growing in a variety of habitat types. Numerous common and beginner-friendly edible species will also be highlighted and analyzed in detail, including which season they appear and ideas for how to cook and preserve your harvest.
