Come explore for mushrooms along IslandWood trails with local experts.
Toadstools, puffballs, chicken of the woods, witches’ butter, stinkhorns, turkey-tail, earthstar, shaggy manes…fungi have such fabulous common names!
Join us for a wild mushroom identification walk and see what’s growing in IslandWood’s forest on Bainbridge Island. You’ll learn where to look for different species and gain identification tricks of the trade from seasoned foragers.
Mushrooming is a fun and addictive hobby! Your guides will share information on how you can get involved and stay connected to other enthusiasts and the best resources and tools to learn more.
- $10 per attendee.
- Enjoy cookies and hot cider at the Friendship Circle after the hike.
- This expedition is great for families to learn how to safely discover and identify mushrooms.
