A Special Fun with Fungi Hike at Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve

Many interesting fungi miraculously appear with the fall rains. Come take a fun with fungi hike with FoE docents to learn how to identify these colorful mushrooms, fuzzy brackets, squishy jelly fungi, and more. We will meet at the Ed Center at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 7th and amble at a moderate pace, making frequent stops to take a closer look at what we find along the trail. This event is geared toward adults and older children interested in learning more about fungi found in San Mateo County’s only natural preserve.

Wear sturdy shoes that can get muddy and bring water. Consider sunscreen, a hat, snacks, and a rain jacket, just in case. Restrooms and water are available only at the Ed Center and the picnic area near the Sylvan Trailhead. Please plan ahead. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers.

All participants, including children, must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite. Details on where to meet will be emailed to participants before the event.

We will still hike in light showers, but heavy rain cancels this hike.

Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us.

We ask folks to register for our hikes in order to keep group sizes manageable, but often we have a few no shows. You are welcome to drop-in 10 minutes before the beginning of the hike to see if there might be extra room. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether there will be space for drop-in hikers in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
