Mushroom Walk

Fancy a foray for fungi? Join our partners at the Philadelphia Mycology Club for a walk-and-talk through the garden in search of marvelous mushrooms. Together, we’ll explore why fungi are essential contributors to healthy ecosystems and how to look for them responsibly. Whether you’re enchanted by mushroom ecology or interested in improving your field observation skills, this is a relaxed and supportive program with space for all levels of experience.
