Explore the hidden world beneath our feet on this mushroom hike led by local mycologist George Riner. We'll observe their growth, learn to identify different species by key traits, be mesmerized by the display of colors, shapes, textures, and discuss these remarkable organisms' ecological roles, culinary delights, and even a touch of folklore. Be prepared for two miles of leisurely walking and chatting over moderate and possibly muddy terrain. Please be aware this is not a foray; collection is permitted for this activity through a yearly CA State Parks Scientific Research and Collecting permit. Fungi information is for educational purposes only. Foraging is illegal in CA State Parks.
