Waipori Forest fungal foray

Trip to Waipori Forest to collect fungi with David Orlovich. (Note: collecting fungi is subject to approval by DoC). Of interest is a new fungus that has only been collected once in the Waipori area. Further collections will make the description of a new species possible. Bring hand lens, small basket or bag for collecting fungi, greaseproof paper (for wrapping specimens in the field). Leave 8 AM and return to the Department of Botany around lunch time. Afternoon in the laboratory examining specimens and recording details for herbarium collections.
