This unique island environment hosts conifer and hardwood trees that provide background to growing fungi. Fungi don’t stop there. Animals nesting and living on this island contribute in a major way to fungi/lichens growth on stone ruins of the island.

Jana will ID mushrooms as we go and learn about edible and nonedible species.

Depending on weather there will be different types of mushrooms to explore.Please wear sturdy shoes, long pants, garden gloves, bring a water bottle, tick and bug repellent, ID field guide and basket (optional).
