Fungi workshop weekend

Caps of wax and horns of plenty!

If you can't tell a stag horn from a stink horn then a workshop this weekend is just for you.

The "Know Your Fungi workshop" is being run by expert mycologist Nev Kilkenny from Scotland.

Nev trained at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh and has worked with the Island's Fungi group and the weekend aims to help those attending to develop confidence in identifying species found on the Island.

He says its open to all, regardless of experience.

Getting underway on Friday evening at 7.30 at Kirk Braddan Church Hall, the weekend continues from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday at the Wildlife Park classroom in Ballaugh.

The cost is £50 and those attending are encouraged to attend both days.

You can telephone Liz on 204949 or email fungusiom@gmail.com for more info or to book.

Booking is essential as numbers are limited.
