Mushroom and Fungi Walk

July 8, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 pm

Explore the grounds of Glen Foerd while learning about different kinds of mushrooms and fungi.

Join Luke Smithson for a stroll around the Glen Foerds grounds as we look for mushrooms and other fungi. Fungi are a vital part of every land ecosystem, even in large urban areas like Philadelphia. They are often overlooked because of their hidden nature, but we will seek them out and discuss the various roles they are serving as well as their relationships to plants and animals (including us)! The walk will be leisurely, appropriate for all ages, and held rain or shine (although heavy/severe rain will cancel the event). Luke is a lifelong mushroom enthusiast and is active with the Philadelphia Mycology Club and the North American Mycological Association as well as several other mushroom organizations.
