Combined exam
Active participation in practicales including bringing own samples for observation - fungal fruitbody, mycorrhizal plants, plants attacked by fungal parasites, slime mold, lichens, molds. Participation in the excursion and the ability to communicate with experts - sending an email about the record of an interesting mushroom documented by a herbarium specimen. Correct identification and classification of common species of macromycetes, micromycetes and lichens. It is possible to bring own material.
