Every year hundreds of volunteers take part in Plantlife's Waxcap Watch, a citizen science programme that helps us to find waxcaps and other grassland fungi which are indicators of rare, species-rich grassland.
Knowing where waxcaps and other grassland fungi are thriving helps us pinpoint where fragments of ancient meadows survive, so we can protect them for the future.
This online webinar will give you the confidence to get out there and take part in Waxcap Watch. As well as success stories from the past 5 years of surveys, it will cover:
- How to take part in the survey
- Where to go looking for waxcaps and other grassland fungi
- How to recognise some of the growth forms of grassland fungi and their identifying features
Sign up for this free session if you want to learn more about grassland fungi and are interested in taking part in Waxcap Watch 2025.
