The course will be organized in AY 2025/2026 in Czech Republic one week, between September 19th to 26th in Krásná Lípa at the ČSOP Tilia Field station.
In the week before the actual course, a "practical lecture" will take place at the faculty. The lecture will be aimed at molecular data - editing, assembling, making simple phylogenies using online tools. It is recommended that we meet personally at the faculty (Seminárium of the Department of Botany), but on-line participation is also possible (the course will be in a hybrid mode running jointly with students from Warsaw). The date will be selected later, but most probably, the lecture will take place on Friday, 18th September, around 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. The course is aimed on demonstration of local mycobiota, identification of fungi based on phenotype traits in field and in the lab using optical microscopes. During the course, molecular data (sequences of several molecular markers) will also be obtained from fresh material and students will evaluate the results of identification from both phenotype and molecular data. Additional activities include work on small taxonomic projects that will be designed based on the material that we find. Students will work in teams of 2-3 students. The course is organized jointly with University of Warsaw. Besides travelling costs, we expect moderate payment for joint cooking, approx. 150-200 CZK per day. Poslední úprava: Koukol Ondřej, doc. Mgr., Ph.D. (10.12.2025)

Student participate on all field trips, collect their own material and identify it based on combination of phenotype and molecular data. Students also participate on preparation of fungarium vouchers and databasing. The last day of the course, students present results of their projects at a "conference".

It is highly recomended that students already successfully passed at least one basic course on Mycology (e.g. MB120P182) and have active knowledge of terminology used in mycology. Any previous experience with DNA analyses (simple similarity search, tree constructing) is also wellcome. Fluent English is also necessary because of foreign students and lecturers. This course is definitely NOT recomended as a first experience with fungi, field sampling and work with DNA sequences in taxonomy! Poslední úprava: Koukol Ondřej, doc. Mgr., Ph.D. (10.12.2025)
