SUMMARY:Why care about Fungi?
DESCRIPTION:WHY CARE ABOUT FUNGI? \nFungi come in all shapes and sizes.  Although often overlooked\, they are an important feature of a healthy ecosystem.  They enrich and aerate soils\, help breakdown dead matter\, help trees communicate\, are a food source\, and have various relationships with other species that will make you gasp!  \nAlexandra Dombrowski achieved an MSc in Plant and Fungal taxonomy\, conservation\, and biodiversity through Kew and Queen Mary University.   Genetic assessments of biodiversity are now vital in the face of acute biodiversity loss and Alex’s work contributes to this within the Darwin Tree of Life Project at Kew\, where she identifies fungi\, maintains fungal cultures\, and completes molecular work. \nCome along and hear Alex talk about the importance and wonder of fungi and how by growing fungi we can help maintain biodiversity and soil health in our gardens and allotments.  She will also show us some of the most common fungi to find around London and where to grow them. \n£5.00 entry per adult\, pay at the door.\n12yrs and under\, free of charge\nChildren must be accompanied by an adult.\nTea/Coffee/Biccies and a Raffle
