This is a two part course in mycology with alternating lab and field sessions. The first two days,  (Nov 11 & 12) are geared towards beginners and will focus on skills required to use identification keys to identify common fungi (including some edibles).  A basic familiarity with compound microscopes is useful but not required. The following two days (Nov 13 & 14) are recommended for intermediate to advanced fungal students, though those taking the beginner session are encouraged to enroll in the intermediate session.  The cirriculum will involve more keying, review of important field and lab characteristics and discussion of the local flora.  Lab sessions will include a greater emphasis on microscopic characters and a familiarity with compound microscopes is required. Lectures on taxonomy and systematics will accompany both sections.  We shall collect in the diverse Siskiyou slopes near Wagner Butte.
