WORKSHOP
A walk in the woods
– to discover and identify Slime molds
October 10, 2025 — 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. — Lainzer Tiergarten
Have you ever marveled at wonderful pictures of other-worldly slime molds but wondered why you never seem to find them yourself?
Join UK slime mold photographer Barry Webb and local expert Ehab Edward, on a two hour walk in Lainzer Tiergarten woods to learn the secrets of where to look and how to discover slime moulds. We will explore various habitats where slime mold can typically be found.
Learn how a simple x10 hand lens and a small torch can reveal the usually 'unseen world of slime mold.' Barry will also demonstrate how he creates his inspiring slime mold images.
