The wonderful world of fungi

    World fungi authority and photographer, Alison Pouliot, will give a free talk at Newham Hall on March 3.

    “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” wrote Keats, and as autumn approaches, so does the emergence of hundreds of different fungi.


    Newham and District Landcare Group has invited world fungi authority and photographer, Alison Pouliot, to give a free talk and display at Newham Hall on Friday, March 3 from 6pm.


    Alison’s new book, Underground Lovers, presents compelling questions and insights about fungi but is also an intimate celebration of their astonishing beauty and complexity.


    Alison will give a talk around a delightful display of fungi, and answer questions about all aspects of the extraordinary world of fungi, telling of her travels and adventures from Iceland’s glaciers to Australian deserts in search of new and rare species.


    Newham and District Landcare members are pleased to present this free event as part of their aim to encourage locals to appreciate our wonderful environment and engage in conservation activities.


    Alison is happy to sign copies of her books and refreshments will be provided, as well as local wine available by the glass.


    No RSVP required. All welcome.
