About the event

A Hunt for Fungi at Holehird Gardens
The Armitt is excited to be running fungi walks once again this year.

To tie in with our exhibition focusing on "Beatrix Potter's summers in the Lake District", our walks will be taking place in some of those key locations where Beatrix Potter found inspiration for her fungi illustrations. Led by experienced mycologists, such as Helen Speed, these walks will be an informative and engaging event for all those interested in exploring and learning about fungi.

This walk will take place at Holehird Gardens

About the mycologist

Helen Speed is a fungi enthusiast who has been fascinated by fungi, in all their forms, for over 30 years. More recently, she has become a Beatrix Potter enthusiast too and would love to revisit all the sites that Beatrix found fungi in to see whether the same species still grow there. She regularly leads forays and delivers talks about fungi (and Beatrix) to groups in the South Lakes. She is a member of North West Fungus Group, Clyde and Argyll Fungus Group, the British Mycological Society and the Fungus Conservation Trust.
