Join us at the trailhead at 10 a.m. for a fun and educational fungal exploration. Take a walk with the Rhode Island Mycological Society and Mushroom enthusiast Deana Thomas. Discover the fungi who live in, and dine on, this picturesque woodland habitat.
Bring a hand lens if you have one! Please, consider downloading iNaturalist to your cell phone to photograph and log your fungal finds.
PLEASE bring water, a light snack for yourself, and bug spray. Wear appropriate clothing [ticks!].
Children are always welcome but PLEASE no pets [yes even the well-behaved ones] at this fungal frolic - we would like to focus on the mushrooms!
*Please be aware that this is not a foraging walk and we are not collecting mushrooms to eat them! This is to document species and their ecology.*
Registration is limited to 25 participants. Register here: https://forms.gle/5DsoPpSq73wEn61ZA
If you sign up and realize you cannot attend, please reach out, so we can give your space to another person.
