Get outdoors!

The Sunday of Biology Week (13th October) is UK Fungus Day, and alongside this we hope lots of people will head outdoors and record some of what they see.

Over UK Fungus Day you can log your fungal finds with iSpot using the descriptive tag #ukfungusday. You can also share your sightings with the #ukfungusday tag on Twitter and check out our Storify on UK Fungus Day

If you take some photos while you're out and about, please share them with us using the #BiologyWeek Twitter hashtag or by posting them onto our facebook group. And when the weekend's over, please join Professor Adam Hart's 24 hour ant and bee lecturethon, in person or via Skype.
