The walks usually go out for about 1-1/2 hours. Participants walk together looking for and at mushrooms, talking about mushrooms and their relationship with trees and other plants. You will be collecting some samples, especially of the edible mushrooms, medicinal mushrooms and any rare or unique mushrooms which will be collected for science. After the walk, you will bring your samples back and spend 1/2 to 1 hour sorting them out and discussing what characteristics to look for so you can properly identify them. The goal is for you to be able to learn a minimum of 2 or 3 mushrooms that you can confidently pick on your own.
Bring some layers for any weather, a small knife to collect mushrooms with and a basket if you have it. If you have any mushrooms from your yard or neighbourhood, come a bit early and bring them along for identification and discussion.
Min. 5 participants/max. 25. Walks may be cancelled if enrolment is low.
Individuals will be given the option to re-book; however, no refunds will be provided if a registered participant is unable to make the walk.
Tickets may be purchased in the Welcome Centre up to 1.5 hours in advance of the walks, subject to availability. However, due to the popularity of these walks, advance booking is strongly recommended.
