PLEASE CHECK TIMETABLES INDEPENDENTLY JUST BEFOREHAND!
Monday September 19th, 2022: Beginning of the LV and first EX Wienerwald Maurerwald. Meeting point: 9:30 a.m. at the car park at the end of Maurer Lange Gasse. Take tram 60 (direction Rodaun) from Hietzing (U4) to the Maurer Lange Gasse stop (one stop after the Maurer Hauptplatz stop). Then walk uphill through Maurer Lange Gasse to the parking lot (approx. 15-20 min). The parking lot is behind the last houses in the forest. There are several ways to get there by public transport. Please choose the best one yourself:
E.g. Hietzing station: Tram 60 (direction Rodaun) to Maurer Lange Gasse Or: Take the 60A bus (towards Vienna Liesing) from Atzgersdorf to the Kaserngasse stop
We will hike through the Maurerwald: Please bring writing utensils, drawing utensils, microscope utensils, collecting containers (plastic boxes), magnifying glasses and pocket knives. If necessary, take warm shoes and clothing and an umbrella with you! When picking mushrooms, you usually only move slowly and it may be cold. Introduction to the terrain: collection technique, site characteristics, choice of substrate, brief outline of trophic groups. Lecture 14:00 macroscopic description, overview of fruiting bodies construction plans; UE practicing macroscopic descriptions, presenting an overview of characteristics, macroscopic keys, field guides (Bon, Pätzold / Laux, etc.). Joint analysis, description of two types of fungus, then independent work. DEMO different types of fruiting bodies. VO approx. 3 p.m. Micro characteristics: spores, spore formation, microchemical reactions; Introduction to microscopy; Cystidia, cap skin, di- and trimitic hyphae systems, etc.
UE Practicing macroscopic descriptions, microscoping spores, cystids; Determine, key technique (e.g. compare different keys);
DEMO spore print 4.30 p.m. Discussion of finds, end at 5 p.m. (mushroom advice from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. for me, voluntarily).
Tuesday 20.9.2022:
EX Westlicher Wienerwald: Rekawinkel: climax beech forest, mixed deciduous forest with firs, spruce forest on predominantly acid soils, over flysch. Please take snacks with you, as there will probably be little time for a lunch break after the excursion.
09:28 from Westbahnhof S train S 50, 10:05 am at Rekawinkel
Return journey possible: 11:55 to 12:32 from Rekawinkel
to Westbahnhof S-Bahn S50 or 12:55 to 13:32 from Rekawinkel
to Westbahnhof S-Bahn S50
VO 14:00 Ecology, trophic groups: saprotrophs, saproparasites, symbionts; 16:30 Discussion of findings, end 17:00
UE Practise making microscopic preparations (work with binoculars!); macroscopic and microscopic descriptions; DEMO various microscopic features;
Wednesday, 21.9.2022:
EX Moosgraben near Hütteldorf, Meeting point: 09:12, Station Karl Bekehrty Str (Bus 52 A direction Jägerwaldsiedlung) 09:05 from Hütteldorf S+U Steig 4, 09:12 to Karl-Bekehrty-Strasse Bus 52A Jägerwaldsiedlung, Flysch-Wienerwald, mixed deciduous forest (mainly beech), natural forest rich in deadwood,
Thursday 22.9.2022:

Departure 9:00, (Biodiversity Centre, rear entrance/garden car park); full-day excursion, bring sufficient food, return 16:30 h.
Friday, 23.9.2022: VO: 9 a.m. overview of genera,
UE Processing of the previous day's finds, practising documentation and identification techniques;
ev. exchange (pictures, descriptions, finding data), preparation of lectures, Evaluation of data according to different criteria (site comparison, trophic groups, FK Bauplantypen); 17.00 End

The students have gained an insight into the diversity of the mushrooms and their habitats. They know their most important groups of characteristics and are able to use technical literature (identification keys) for identification of the fungi. They know the different trophic groups of mushrooms and their role in the environment and in food webs. They know the problems of mushroom poisoning as well as nature and species protection and know how to collect mushrooms responsibly.
Content:
+ Introduction to the diversity of the native mushrooms
+ Introduction to the systematics of mushrooms
+ Knowledge of different habitats of fungi
+ Collection and determination technology, microscopy
+ Documentation, analysis and presentation of find data
+ Ecological importance of large fungi, especially in forest ecosystems, trophic groups, mycorrhiza research
+ Poisonous and edible mushroomsMethod:
Three half-day excursions and one full-day excursion to different site types (mainly forests) around Vienna, guided field work (collecting activity), in the afternoon theoretical basics and processing of the collections (introductory lectures on the course topics, determination, analysis and documentation of the mushroom finds by drawing, description, photography), microscopic analysis and determination with the help of determination keys, data input into standardized tables, evaluation according to systematic and trophic groups, find reviews. The last two days of the course are reserved for independent analysis and presentation of the data obtained, working in small groups.Security risk:
Usual risk of a field excursion. Please ensure that you wear suitable footwear and clothing during your stay outdoors! Austria is one of the areas in Europe most affected by TBE (early summer meningo-encephalitis) (http://zecken.at/verbreitung-der-zecke/#oesterreich), which is why there is a corresponding vaccination recommendation for Austria!
In the course room handle with slides, tweezers, dissection needle, razor blade.Costs: public transport on three days (2 exc. core zone Vienna and 1 x Rekawinkel), a minibus excursion (approx. 6,- Euro).Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
