For the Love of Fungi

There is fungus among us—let’s discover the fascinating species thriving right here at Duke Farms! Join us for an in-depth exploration of the often-overlooked fungal kingdom. This class is all about mushrooms: their life cycles, ecological roles, and the unique relationships they form, all explored during a guided foray to observe fungi in their natural habitat.

All programs begin at the Farm Barn Orientation Center unless otherwise noted.

Registration is required. Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend so your space can be offered to someone else. Cancellations received at least 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund, if applicable.

Programs at Duke Farms are held rain or shine, but in the event of severe or impeditive weather, classes may be canceled. Email notice will be given as early as possible via email and refunds will be issued in the case of cancellations.
