We will begin by learning about the function of fungi and the many different forms, colors, and habitats in which they can be found. We will then hike out to Averill's Island where we'll put the 'fun' in fungi! You'll have the chance to use mushrooms to build a gnome home, learn how to create an artistic spore print, and hone your fungus-hunting skills with a scavenger hunt!
Instructions and Directions: Meets in the Nature Center. Please dress for the weather since we will be going on a short hike.
Registration is required.
