Mushroom Mayhem

Your family is invited to explore the forest and discover the hidden world of mushrooms. During this guided walk, you'll learn what mushrooms actually are, what makes them distinct from other organisms, and how to spot them in their natural habitat. The program covers why mushrooms matter to the health of woodlands and forests. A practical highlight: you'll also get hands-on instruction on using iNaturalist, a helpful tool for identifying mushrooms you encounter on future nature walks. This is a great activity for curious kids and parents who want to deepen their understanding of outdoor ecosystems. No special experience needed—just bring a sense of wonder and comfortable shoes for walking. The event takes place at Flowing Well Park, making it an accessible way to spend time in nature while learning something new together.
