Beginner’s Mushroom ID Hike
August 28 @ 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Join ALT staff and WPMC Identifier Julie Travaglini for a mushroom hike and ID table at Devil’s Hollow. Hike runs rain or shine, NO WALK INS will be permitted. This is not a traditional guided hike, after a brief introduction guests will be looking for mushrooms on their own before reconvening for an ID table and discussion at the end. As this hike is beginner friendly, we will be using the mushrooms common names and looking at distinguishing features to being identifying mushrooms. Please wear shoes that are water friendly! Part of the trail at Devil’s Hollow crosses a very small, shallow stream and depending on how much rain we’ve received, your shoes may get wet!
We will not be foraging on this hike or discussing edibility. Foraging for mushrooms can be risky and it is never safe to eat a wild mushroom unless an expert confirms the identity.
