Fungi inhabit every aspect of the world around us, from our bodies to the land around us. They make partnerships with organisms, parasitize others, and keep the forests from piling high with logs or other plant debris. On this walk, we will survey the Gardens' grounds for fruiting bodies (mushrooms) and other fungal activity. In the case of mushrooms, we will cover edibility, toxicity, and medicinal uses all while trying to develop an eye for reading the landscape to where they might fruit.
The Details:
If you have one, bring a hand lens and a UV flashlight (recommended option).
Come prepared to use your cell phone or camera to take photos and upload them to iNaturalist!
The walk involves standing for long periods of time, and venturing off the main trails on varied terrain.
Be prepared for the weather with appropriate layers.
Bring a water bottle, notebook, and a pencil/pen.
