The secrets of the fungal world: discovering the mushrooms in our Garden

Present in our daily lives - from our plates (bread, cheese, beer) to our medicines - fungi also perform essential functions in nature, such as decomposing dead organic matter or forming symbiotic associations. And they are not plants! They cannot photosynthesise and are closer, evolutionarily speaking, to animals.
During this visit, we'll explore the species that can be seen in autumn, the ones that produce fruictifications that can be seen with the naked eye and are usually referred to as mushrooms. You'll learn to recognise their morphologies, differentiate the species and understand their vital role in ecosystems. A captivating immersion in a hidden but essential world!
