Identifying Waxcaps of significance in grassland systems

Waxcaps are a specific group of fungi found in species-rich, nutrient-poor grasslands and can be indicators for conservation value meadows.
About this Event

A practical workshop to identify waxcaps (and other fungi) in the field, to learn about their importance as potential indicators of higher conservation value habitat within grasslands and how their management may offer potential for inclusion in CS Higher Tier options.
