Edible wild mushrooms: Systematic and ecological importance

Curso de Formação

Ano Letivo 2024/2025

Course Overview

Portugal holds a high mycological diversity; however the mycological population literacy is low. In order to fill this lack of knowledge, the course "Edible wild mushrooms" was created to educate and inform about the biology of fungi that produce wild mushrooms, which provide numerous ecosystem services and are essential for the health and prosperity of various habitats. It is intended that course recipients awake to the Kingdom of Fungi and widely apply and disseminate this knowledge. The study of mycology, far beyond scientific, environmental, economic and social interest, plus the important applications in the medicine and cosmetics areas, is unique in terms of examples of solidarity and cooperation between species from different Kingdoms.
