Fungi Foray with Philly Myco Club

Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary 240 Sunnyside Road, Easton, Pennsylvania

Join Philadelphia Mycology Club’s Kevin Popowich for a Fungi Foray along the trails of Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary to discover and uncover the wonderful world of mycology. Together, we’ll explore the steep slopes of Bougher Hill overlooking the scenic Delaware River and see what mushrooms and other fungi we can find.    What is a foray?

We will adhere to Natural Lands’ Leave No Trace policy and not remove any mushrooms or other plant material from the preserve.
