This summer, you can explore the wonderful world of mushrooms with expert Martin Osis who will be leading a number of discovery walks through the garden's natural areas. Mushroom walks will be offered both daytime and evenings.
The walks usually go out for about 1 1/2 hours. We walk together looking for and at mushrooms, talking about mushrooms and their relationship with trees and other plants. We will be collecting some samples, especially of the edible mushrooms, medicinal mushrooms and any rare or unique mushrooms which will be collected for science. We bring them back and spend a 1/2 to 1 hour sorting them out and discussing what characteristics to look for so we can properly identify them. Bring some layers for any weather, a small knife to collect mushrooms with and a basket if you have it. Also, if you have any mushrooms from your yard or neighbourhood, come a bit early and bring them along for identification. We will have lots of samples of the common medicinal mushrooms to look at and photograph so that we can leave them growing in the Gardens. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on leash.
Walks may be cancelled if enrolment is low.
