FIELD TRIP FOR MUSHROOM SURVEY AND IDENTIFICATION
The Department of Botany organized a one-day field trip for the III B.Sc. Botany students on 20 June 2024 within the Andhra Loyola College campus. The objective of the field visit was to provide students with practical exposure to the diversity, collection, and identification of mushrooms through direct field observation.
During the visit, students surveyed different areas of the campus and collected specimens of various mushrooms for preliminary identification and study. The activity enabled students to relate theoretical knowledge with field-based learning and develop skills in specimen collection, observation, and identification.
A total of 20 students along with faculty members participated in the programme. The field activity enhanced students’ practical knowledge, scientific observation skills, and understanding of fungal diversity and its ecological significance, thereby contributing to experiential learning and academic enrichment.
