How are fungi different from plants? What is the relationship between fungi and lichens? Why lichens live on tree trunks, branches, rocks or twigs? Why do mushrooms have a ‘cap’? We will answer all of these questions and many more interesting ones! We will search for fungi and lichens under leaves, on tree barks, branches, and trunks inside Forstenrieder Forest. We will examine them with magnifying glasses and learn more about their structure and life cycle, and do many more exciting scientific activities!
