Additional Information: You will receive further details regarding the session and participant requirements closer to the event date. This event is part of "Mycology May," a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of fungi.

As we will be going into the field we ask that you wear sturdy shoes, appropriate clothing and a hat for the day, you should bring a warm jacket, beanie, gloves and wet weather gear as the weather on Mount Canobolas can be quite cold, windy and wet....but the fungi love it!

We recommend watching the LLS video series The Forgotten Kingdom as an introduction to fungi identification and to prepare you for the foray.
