Meet the Mushrooms!

There are hundreds of mushroom species in our area, each with a unique habitat and distinguishing features. Learn about the roles that fungi play in our ecosystems and how to find and identify different mushrooms. A naturalist will lead you on a foray through woodland and grassland trails, where you’re sure to discover a variety of fungal fruits! Note: this program will focus on mushroom ecology and identification, not edibility.
