Private Mushroom Walk With Catskill Fungi

*Update May 29th: This event is now full! Thank you for your interest! If you would like to be put on the waiting list in case someone can't attend or would like to be notified of future events, please send along your info.

This event is suitable for ages 7+ and up. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

A two-hour mushroom walk with an experienced mycology educator to learn about fungi you find in our forest here in the Catskills! We will bring bags, baskets, books, and magnifiers that we use to find, photograph, sustainably harvest, and identify the mushrooms.

Are you interested to learn which mushrooms are edible or medicinal, and how to prepare them? Would you like to know about the underground network that binds your forest together?  Would you like to cultivate mushrooms indoors or outdoors?  We will cover these subjects and more.  We can talk about the ecological value, historic uses, scientific importance, and future potential of the fungi we find.
