EXCIO JOURNAL | ISSUE 1 | JUNE 2021 TOP TIPS FOR FINDING FUNGI 1. Pick the right season - you have the best chance of finding fungi during autumn/ winter. 2. Head somewhere dark and damp. Go on a walk in a park nearby and explore areas where not much sunlight can get through. Search under piles of leaves and look around the base of trees. Remeber fungi are ususally tiny - can be as small as 5mm in height! 3. Use a tripod and light or if you don’t have one - at least something you can use to stablise your camera/phone. Because fungi hide in dark areas you will need a lot of light and as little movement as possible to take crisp photos! 4. Shoot down low. Think through what you wil lbe wearing and take something protective you can put on the ground - you will most like need to kneel or sit or even lie down.
