About this event
Leader: Serenella Linares Join Mycologist Serenella Linares in a visit to two of her favorite mushroom hunting spots: Woodend Nature Sanctuary and Cabin John Regional Park. These fantastic spaces are home to some of the most attractive species of fungi found during the fall months: Eyelash cup fungi, Indigo milk-cap, and bleeding bonnets at Woodend, and red chanterelles, witches butter, walnut mycenas, eyelash cup fungi, smoky spindles at Cabin John – and so much more! Learn about the fungal relationships and natural phenomena associated with the fungi species at each site (loupes provided for the duration of the program). We will move at a very slow pace to observe and enjoy all the mushrooms popping up in the fungi-extravaganza season: fall.
