MUSHROOMS AND MICROSCOPES
The EMS is getting it’s very own microscope!
Ever been frustrated by statements in mushroom books that say «can only be distinguished microscopically»? Tired of not really knowing what that mushroom is? Well do we have a course for you! Mike Schulz will be holding the EMS’s first ever workshop on mushroom microscopy, Mastering the Mysteries of Mushroom Microscopy, on April 26 at the University of Alberta. This will be a full-day, practical workshop and will cover the following:
— How to use a microscope
— Calibrating a microscope
— Microscopic mushroom features:
— For polypores
— For agarics
— For ascomycetes
— Microscopic information in keys
This course is mandatory for those wishing to use the EMS’s new microscope, as improper usage can easily damage these expensive instruments. A basic knowledge of mushrooms is recommended. The cost will be $25 for EMS members, $45 for non-members, and EMS members will recieve an informal certificate. Open to the public. Please bring a bag lunch. Registration is limited, first-come, first-served, and the form is below. For more information, and advanced registration, please contact Mike Schulz at 492-7010, or at [email protected].
