Meander for Mushrooms

Past event
Sep 14, 2024, 9 to 11 AM

…with Meg Madden, Myco-influencer

Ever wondered about the mysterious mushrooms that share the forest with us? Are you fungi-curious? Do you see interesting mushrooms in your travels and wish you knew more about these fascinating organisms?

On this walk we will explore the woods and learn about the mushrooms we find along the way including what they are, how to identify them, and the essential roles that these fungi play in forest ecology. We will also discuss the importance of community science and learn tips and tricks for taking mushroom photos.

Meg Madden leads an exploration on the Museum's trails: to seek, to find, and to understand the fungi that live in and on our corner of the wood-wide web.
