Plantlife Walk at Ludwell Valley Park

21 November 2026
11am-12.30pm
£10.5

Join Aileen Baird, Senior Conservation Officer for Fungi at Plantlife, for an introduction into the world of waxcap fungi.

We’ll take a walk around Ludwell Valley Park, discussing the features of the habitat before getting hands-on with some fungi, and explore what makes a waxcap a waxcap! We will also practice recording our findings using Plantlife’s Waxcap Watch survey app.

Aileen works on fungal conservation projects across the UK. She has worked in mycology for 9 years, with particular interests in the impacts of climate change on fungi, grassland fungi, rainforest fungi, and community science. Aileen’s work covers a diverse range of projects, including the new UK Network for Fungal Conservation, the community-science project Waxcap Watch, and on-the-ground conservation of threatened fungi.

Exact meeting location will be emailed to ticket holders before the event.
