Fungi and Lichens  Mushroom logo



If you missed her classroom instruction during the Redwood Ecology workshop you will definitely want to take advantage of Virginia Waters revisiting  Humboldt Redwoods State Park for a wonderful field instruction on  fungi and lichens of the Coast Redwood region.

Investigate this branch of biology that is neither plants nor animals that reign in their own kingdom. Increase your understanding of how they depend on and affect the redwood forest ecosystem.

There will be an introduction with slides and fungi samples in the audio/visual room. Then, identify the major kinds of fruiting bodies and lichens as you trek through the moist climate of the redwood trails. This is a rain or shine class. Bring a lunch, good walking shoes,  a hand lens or magnifying glass, and a small mirror for viewing the undersides of the fruiting bodies is also very useful.
