The Trees of Lyme Park and Their Fungal Associates
A snapshot exhibition and walking trail exploring the hidden world of plant-fungal interactions at Lyme.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This exhibition explores five signature tree species at Lyme Park alongside some of their fungal associates. After viewing this exhibition, visitors can embark on a self-guided trail around the Top Lawn, where curated display panels highlight notable features of these plant hosts, their fungal associates, and their interactions.
Visitors can also meet the exhibition curator and researcher, Dr Qin Qi, on 17, 24 and 31 October. Qin is an early-career microbiologist in the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford and will be on site to answer questions, share insights into the research, and help guide visitors through the exhibition.
