Mycological knowledge - advanced basic course in mycology

Education facts

Code: BI1381

Now it is possible to study mycology at SLU in Uppsala. We provide an introductory course and an advanced course for those who know some about fungi and mushrooms and want to learn more about their biology, ecology and taxonomy, learn to recognize the most common fungi and learn more about the importance of fungi for the ecosystems and for humans. The courses are given in Swedish and are aimed at you who are student interested in fungi, or those who want to become a mushroom consultant (svampkonsulent) or work or want to work with fungi in your profession, for example within nature conservation. The courses are a development of the successful mycology courses that Elisabeth Bååth organized at Umeå University in 1993-2012. Svampkonsulenternas Riksförbund is participating as teachers in the courses.
