Wheatfen 2026: the British Mycological Society fungus identification workshop

Dates and venue

The British Mycological Society calendar lists its Fungus identification workshop for 25–27 September 2026 at Wheatfen Nature Reserve, Norfolk. This is a date announced by the organiser, rather than one inferred from an annual pattern. The listing was checked on 8 September.

Questions before booking

BMS describes the general workshop format as small-group study with a tutor and examination of fungal material. Where microscopy is involved, participants may need to bring equipment. That does not confirm the particular equipment requirements of this September course: check its own arrangements before making a booking.

Prepare three questions: what experience is expected, what should you bring, and what does the fee cover? These help distinguish a hoped-for introduction from a session requiring previous practice. This entry does not quote a price or the number of remaining places because neither was verified.

Wheatfen also offers ordinary free visitor access. That is separate from registration for an organised workshop. Follow the BMS event link for current participation information before arranging travel or accommodation. A photograph of the reserve establishes the setting; it is not a promise that the workshop will follow a particular walking route.
