This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Join us for an immersive walk in the woods as we explore the fascinating world of fungi! This guided hike is perfect for beginners and curious nature lovers alike. Led by a knowledgeable mycologist (or experienced guide), we’ll learn how to safely identify common mushrooms, understand their ecological roles, and discuss key features such as cap shape, gills, spore prints, and more.
Along the way, we’ll encounter a variety of native mushrooms—some edible, some toxic, and many just plain weird. Whether you're hoping to forage, photograph, or simply deepen your appreciation for these mysterious organisms, this hike will open your eyes to the hidden life of the forest floor.
