Join us for a fun Saturday dedicated to mushrooms! We will meet at the Five Finger Point trailhead to gain some background information on mushroom anatomy, types, and foraging. After practicing our identification skills we will depart from the parking lot and do the leisurely 3 mile hike around Five Finger Point. Along the way we will practice our searching, identification, and appreciation skills of these cool organisms. Participants are welcome to forage if they feel inclined, but the SLA will not be providing any assurance on mushroom edibility. Mushrooms can only be positively identified by a professional mycologist, therefore any foraging will be the assumed risk of the participant. We anticipate the hike should take no longer than 2.5 hours. The program will be complete after finishing the hike. Participants are welcome to hang around and socialize or ask about other great hikes in the network!

This program is for all ages. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
