Our Director, Dr Jagjit Singh, was invited by the Royal Society of Ulster Architects, to deliver a lecture at Riddell Hall, Belfast

The study of fungi is known as mycology.  The world’s eco- systems are sustained and kept in balance by a rich variety of fungi.  

It is estimated that there are about 1.5 million species of fungi in total, of which around 70,000(5%) have been scientifically described. 

The talk covered the following topics;

• History of the Search for Dry Rot in the Himalayas 
• The Biology of Wood-Rotting Fungi 
• Ecological and Environmental Factors 
• Detection of Dry Rot 
• Remedial Treatment
