Join us for a variety of events with a fun fungal focus! Pat Mitchell, Drew Palmer, and Mycol Stevens will lead us through the fascinating world of mushrooms in hands-on workshops and a mushroom foray. See the night world aglow on a walk in the dark with UV flashlights; play mushroom bingo; introduce kids to the fun of fungus with Myrtle, the mushroom ambassador turtle; head out into the forest for a foray. Learn identification of edible mushrooms plus how to cook and enjoy them. Explore the micro myco world up close with microscopes. And…more! This is the ultimate hands-on, multi-sensory, arts-infused learning adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned forager or a curious newcomer, this event offers something for everyone.
This is a family-friendly event.
Please leave your pets at home.
