With fall comes fungi! Some are gourmet, some are deadly, and some even glow in the dark! Dive into their mysterious world with interpretive ranger and 'mycophile' Mary Lincoln, as we embark on a guided hike through the woods in search of interesting mushrooms and other fungi. Who knows what we'll find!

This walk will be at an easy pace on a forested trail with easy to moderate terrain, with frequent stops to investigate fungi along the way. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for rain or chilly weather.
