Join Izzy McLeod on a beginner-friendly fungi walk through Fforest Ganol. It’ll be a slow walk through the woods with lots of stops to look at the fungi we find.

Except to learn:

- What are fungi and what role do they play in ecosystems

- How do we identify different species of fungi

- Welsh names for fungi and trees

- How to support fungal conservation

Dress appropriate for the weather, wrap up warm, and wear sensible shoes you don’t mind getting muddy.

Please note this isn’t a walk focused on foraging. While we may encounter edible species and talk a little bit about edibility of some fungi, this won’t be guaranteed.

Ymunwch ag Izzy McLeod ar daith gerdded ffyngau sy'n briodol i ddechreuwyr drwy Fforest Ganol. Bydd yn daith gerdded araf trwy'r goedwig gyda llawer o oedi i edrych ar y ffyngau rydyn ni'n dod o hyd iddynt.

Gallwch ddisgwyl dysgu:

- Beth yw ffyngau a pha rôl maen nhw'n ei chwarae mewn ecosystemau

- Sut ydyn ni'n adnabod gwahanol rywogaethau o ffyngau

- Enwau Cymraeg ar gyfer ffyngau a choed

- Sut i gefnogi cadwraeth ffyngau

Gwisgwch yn briodol i'r tywydd, lapiwch yn gynnes, a gwisgwch esgidiau synhwyrol nad oes ots gennych iddynt fod yn fwdlyd.

Sylwch nad yw hon yn daith gerdded sy'n canolbwyntio ar fforio. Er y gallwn ddod ar draws rhywogaethau bwytadwy a siarad ychydig am y gallu i fwyta rhai ffyngau, ni fydd hyn yn cael ei warantu.
