Herbarium Workshop at UBC

Beaty Biodiverstiy Museum 2212 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada

“From field to fungarium: making collections that expand our knowledge”. This is a workshop being developed with Prof. Mary Berbee to review the purpose and achievements of great herbaria, and to go over the proper procedures for making collections of our local fungi for deposit and contribution to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. It will likely be no cost, but space will be limited and there will be registration; it will be for VMS members only. If you are interested, please email info@vanmyco.com to get on the mailing list.
