Guided beginner mushroom walk. Learn to spot, understand, and appreciate wild fungi—no experience needed. Relaxed pace.
About this Event

🌲 Step into the fascinating world of fungi at Pinhey Forest.


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.

Expect a mix of:

  • Practical identification tips
  • Wild (and sometimes bizarre) mushroom facts
  • Ecological insights you’ll never unsee again
  • A relaxed pace with plenty of time for questions

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

Details:

  • Duration: 3 hours (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM)
  • 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.)
