About this Event
Enjoy finding and learning about fungi with Docent Naturalists Chris MacIntosh, Marie Faust Evitt, and Roger Wigenstam. Discover the variety of colors, shapes, and sizes growing underfoot (or overhead) on this moderately-paced, non-technical fungus appreciation hike along Peters Creek and Long Ridge trails. You’ll learn to notice the sometimes camouflaged, but always fascinating, fungi that flourish in winter. The rain (or lack of) will determine what fungi may be found. Bring stamina, curiosity, and lunch. (Note: This is not a foraging hike. No natural or cultural resources may be removed from open space preserves or other protected lands.) Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after December 22 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close January 3 at 2:00 p.m.
