About This Event

Moulds are everywhere – in the soil, on plants, in our homes and even in the air around us – and they play a vital role in the natural world. Join Ian for a fascinating hands-on microscopy session exploring some of the common moulds we encounter in everyday life. Using microscopes, we’ll take a much closer look at their extraordinary structures and discover how moulds grow, reproduce and help break down organic material as part of the natural recycling process. This practical meeting is a great opportunity to explore the hidden world of fungi and microorganisms and see familiar moulds from an entirely different perspective. Whether you’re an experienced microscopist, interested in fungi and natural history, or simply curious about what things look like under a microscope, you’ll be very welcome. Join the Northamptonshire Natural History Society Microscopy Section at the Humfrey Rooms in Northampton for an interesting and accessible evening of practical microscopy. No previous microscopy experience is needed, and visitors and beginners are always welcome.
