Elizabeth Park Fungi Walk

Join us for a Fungi Walk through Elizabeth Park, led by Plant Health Consultant Vincent Galatolo on Saturday, October 25th at 10 AM.

Our world would not be the same without fungi. They have a profound effect on our landscape. During this fungi walk we will discuss major specimens that can be found in the summer northeastern landscape. Furthermore, we will discuss major tree specimens where foraged fungi can be easily found and harvested, because if you know your trees, you’ll know your fungi.

Our guide, Vincent Galatolo, develops plant health programs for the Elizabeth Park Conservancy. He started his journey in horticulture at Clemson University and completed a fellowship at Claude Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France, and Morris Arboretum in PA. Prior to working with the Elizabeth Park Conservancy, Vincent worked as the Director of Plant Health at the New York Botanical Garden. One of Vincent’s biggest passions aside from plant health is fungi production and foraging. He has spent over a decade cultivating a wide variety of fungi and foraging in the northeast.
