Take a hike with an expert on mushrooms and learn to identify native mushrooms! Mushrooms can be difficult to positively ID, but our hike leader has 10 years experience on identifying native mushrooms.This will be a relatively easy walk, with frequent stops to look at mushrooms. It will, however, be between 1-2 miles, depending on exact route taken, so may be too long for very small children. If you're unsure if the walk is too long, consider visiting for a casual family walk before the date!
There are a few benches along the route, but they are unevenly spaced. Please make sure to wear sturdy shoes! Most of the walk will be in forest. Tick repellant is suggested.
Dogs ON LEASH are welcome on the hike.
Use 160 Plumtrees rd in GPS to find the parking area.
WEATHER DELAY: Light rain or mist will not cancel the hike. Mushrooms love damp! If we have heavy rain, snow, ice, or other unsafe trail conditions, we will make sure to post a cancellation that morning.
