About this Event
This fun and educational fungi foray will introduce you to the wonderful world of fungi led by Jane McLauchlin. The walk will help you recognise some common species and maybe a few rarer ones too. Jane will also explain the important roles that fungi play in our local ecosystems.
This walk will be led at a leisurely pace to allow us to discover a wider variety of fungi across the woodlands and meadows on Coulsdon Common. The walk will last approximately one and a half hours with some time to review our finds from the foray.
Please note: This is not a foraging walk. We won’t be picking or collecting any fungi for eating or personal use. Instead, we’ll be exploring the nature reserve and taking time to spot, learn about and appreciate the incredible variety, shapes and colours of fungi growing here.
