10 – 12 August 2024
\nRibni\u0161ko Pohorje, Slovenia<\/h3>\n

The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., organised and held a workshop entitled “Mushroom Pigments and Forest Pedagogy Workshop” in Carinthia.
\n<\/p>\n

Between 10 and 12 August, the participants met with Associate Professor of Fine Arts Anja Jer\u010di\u010d Jakob<\/strong> and fungi expert Katarina Grabnar Apostolides<\/strong>. During the meeting, they discussed different types of fungi that could be used to create pigments in collaboration with the Faculty of Education at the University of Ljubljana, the Mycological Museum of Slovenia<\/strong> and other partners.<\/p>\n

The next day, together with Prof. Jer\u010di\u010d and a few participants, including children, they went to the field in the forest near Kova\u010dija PRI Kova\u010d, near Jan\u017eevsk\u00fd Vrho. There they found several species of mushrooms, which they collected for drying and preparing pigments. Although some mushrooms are not yet in season, some species will be available in the coming weeks or months, which makes the story of mushroom pigments even more interesting and continuing.<\/p>\n

Participants were impressed by the number of mushrooms they could find on the Ribni\u0161ko Pohorje, despite this year’s heat and drought. Besides the pigments, they were also impressed by the medicinal and edible mushrooms. The weekend was a success and they achieved all the objectives of the workshop, as well as enjoying the beautiful nature and good company.<\/p>\n

Meeting duration: 3 hours<\/p>\n

Duration of the field workshop with an introductory lecture on forest etiquette: 8 hours<\/p>\n

The workshop leader would like to say a special thank you to everyone, for the good times in good company, with really wonderful and creative people, in beautiful nature, and of course amongst our beloved mushrooms.<\/em><\/p>\n
