CSSC members learned about Nature Unlocked, a major research project aimed at gathering high-quality scientific evidence on the value of UK biodiversity and how scientists at Wakehurst are helping unearth the role of fungi in our ecosystems.
The day began with an introduction to Wakehurst, followed by a stroll through the beautiful autumnal woodlands, where members had the chance to spot various fungi. Our knowledgeable Wakehurst guide provided fascinating insights, explaining where fungi are most likely to grow, the benefits of their unique shapes, sizes, and colours, and even sharing what some of them taste like!

After lunch, the group was educated by Dr X, diving deeper into the world of fungi and explaining how their research ties into the Nature Unlocked project.
The event was a great success, with attendees not only learning about the critical work being done at Wakehurst but also enjoying the opportunity to connect with fellow members who share an interest in science.
Thank you Wakehurst for hosting the event and we can’t wait for the next exclusive event for our members to enjoy.
