Learn about the important identifying features of our local fungi and discover some of the crucial roles they play in our ecosystems. Discuss what you can do to preserve fungal diversity in your area through community science and land stewardship. After an informative session on ecology of fungi, instructor Sam Bucciarelli will guide students on exploration of Mt. Cuba’s natural areas. This is a unique opportunity to scout and learn about the fungal diversity on trails not accessible to the public. Be prepared for a lengthy hike through hilly (sometimes steep) and uneven terrain. Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, May 16, 2026 (Rain Date: Saturday, 6/6).
