Funga 1400-122FNG
Field trips and laboratories:
Several field trips to various forest ecosystems within Warsaw (and possibly the immediate surrounding areas, Mazovia Region), during which students will observe and collect fruiting bodies of common mushrooms (macromycetes).
After each field trip, upon returning to the lab, students will then identify the collected mushroom species using microscopes, magnifying glasses, basic chemical reagents, as well as literature keys, field guides, and apps. In addition, students will practice issuing certificates for fresh mushrooms intended for processing and marketing using selected examples.
Lectures:
The lectures will cover the topics included in Appendix 5 to the Minister of Health’s announcement of September 20, 2023 on the publication of the consolidated text of the Regulation of the Minister of Health on mushrooms authorized for marketing or the production of mushroom products, foodstuffs containing mushrooms, and the qualifications of mushroom classifiers and mycologists (Dz.U. 2023, item 2237).
