Ottawa Mushroom Society Walk: May

This beginner-friendly guided walk is designed to introduce you to mushrooms in a way that’s engaging, approachable, and surprisingly eye-opening. We’ll explore what fungi are, how they grow, and how to start recognizing common species you’re likely to encounter right here in Ottawa.

No baskets, no pressure, no prior knowledge required—just curiosity.

• Trail: Easy, but not fully accessible
• Audience: Adults / general audience
• What to bring: Comfortable shoes, water, weather-appropriate clothing, mosquito repellent/netting (even if you don't think you will want to use it, trust us.)
