Walk Six: Beginner-Intermediate with Lee Yamada

October 19 @ 12:15 pm - 1:30 pm

$5.00
Lee Yamada

Are you interested in learning how to spot and identify mushrooms?  Are you curious about the lifecycle of a mushroom?  Then join us on a mushroom walk!  Participants of all ages are welcome.  During these walks, we will help you learn how to find and identify mushrooms.  Please note that these are not foraging walks and we will be leaving most mushrooms in place for the other walks.  Also, in order to ensure the safety of all, no dogs are allowed on any of the mushroom walks.

Beginner to Intermediate Mycology Walk – Learn mushroom basics with the leader highlighting identification of common edible and toxic mushrooms.  You will also be introduced to how to approach mushroom identification, the importance of taxonomy (scientific classification and naming), and tips to continue your exploration of the world of mycology. 

Walk Leader: Lee Yamada
Meeting Location for Bus: Outside Yachats Pavilion

The meeting location is specified by the walk time.  Limited bus transportation will be available for the walks.  For bus transportation, meet outside the Mushroom Exhibition and Identification Hall at the Yachats Pavilion behind the Commons ten minutes before the bus departure time.  The bus leaves promptly, so you will need to make your own way if you miss it.  Please note that should you choose to drive yourself, parking at Cape Perpetua has a day parking fee of $5.  Very limited parking is available behind the art galleries near the Gerdemann Botanic Preserve or at the Smelt Sands State Park parking lot.

Note that half of the sign-up slots are available online, and half will be available by stopping by the Mushroom Identification Hall at the Yachats Pavilion behind the Commons.  If the walk is noted as “sold out” online, be sure to stop by the Mushroom Identification Hall during the festival because spots are still likely available.
