Special Events
Walking the Mycelial Web – FULL
Saturday, November 8 from 12:30 to 2:30 pm
Tracing mycelial webs through the forest, we will encounter and observe fungi with multiple senses to try to understand their worlds, lifeways, relationships and behaviour. The conversation will include basic principles of mushroom identification based on features visible with the naked eye, helping you be able to recognize mushroom form groups and work towards learning important genera and species.
Please note that this program will not include harvesting/foraging for mushrooms, as doing so in public parks is illegal.
Ages 15+. Cost: $15 per person (+ GST).
Winter Craft Workshops
Join us for an afternoon of crafting with complimentary hot beverages and treats.
