Details

An interactive talk on how fungi influence our environment and the profound impact they have had on human culture. You'll be invited to take part in a couple of quizzes as part of the event.

Although the talk will take place indoors, if we have time/weather permits we may go outside the education centre for a few minutes to see some examples of fungi.

Cameron is the chairperson of the Edinburgh & Lothians Fungus Enthusiasts, a group with a focus on raising awareness of fungi and to record fungi in and around Edinburgh, as well as a member of several other Scottish fungus groups. He is also a member of the British Mycological Society and regularly gives talks and guided walks to highlight a different perspective on fungi.

This interactive talk will take place at Holyrood Park Education Centre (1 Queen's Drive, Edinburgh EH8 8HG).
