SUMMARY:Mushroom Walk with ALT
DESCRIPTION:Join ALT staff and WPMC Identifier Julie Travaglini for a mushroom talk\, walk and ID table at Fern Hollow Nature Center. \nWe will start with an introduction to the Kingdom of Fungi with an indoor learning session\, followed by an outdoor mushroom hunt. This is not a traditional guided hike; after the indoor introduction\, attendees will be looking for mushrooms on their own before reconvening for an ID table and discussion at the end. As this hike is beginner-friendly\, we will be using the mushrooms common names and looking at distinguishing features to begin identifying mushrooms. \nWe will not be foraging on this hike or discussing edibility. Foraging for mushrooms can be risky\, and it is never safe to eat a wild mushroom unless an expert confirms the identity. \n$10 per person \nHike runs rain or shine. No walk-ins will be permitted. \nRegister Here!
