WALK LEADERS
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, these enthusiastic and knowledgeable walk leaders 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.
