Course content
Presentation of fungi growing in selected localities (ecological linkages of the species are emphasized), collection of fungal organisms in the field (with a focus on macromycetes), subsequent processing of the material and determination on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic morphological characters using the determination literature.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with Text (with Book, Textbook), Demonstration, Training in job and motor Skils
Learning outcomes
Field mycological excursion is aimed at the presentation of fungal growth in selected localities (ecological linkages of species are emphasized), collection and processing of fruiting bodies in the field, followed by the study of their microscopic features. The course is focused on determination of fungal species mainly with macroscopic fruiting bodies.
After completing the course the student should: - determine common species of fungal organisms by macro-and microscopic characters and their environment - collect and subsequently process the items in the laboratory - indicate presence and importance of macromycetes common in CR
Prerequisites

Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam
