A beautiful rainy fall is a mushroom enthusiast’s dream! Join fungi enthusiast Cecilia for an exploration of mushrooms visible from our trails. Understanding how to identify and differentiate mushrooms is an important part of staying safe while foraging. This guided nature walk will be fun for beginners and mycophiles interested in sharing their knowledge with a group.
Guided nature walks happen rain or shine, so please dress to keep yourself warm and dry. We will walk slowly to allow time for observation, but the path is uneven or uphill in some places.
Although this is a free event, we always welcome donations to help support our education and restoration efforts.
At Shadow we ask that you leave organic materials where you find them. Our wildlife needs all the resources that the forest provides!
Happy Independence Day! We hope your celebrations are joyous and nature filled! SHADOW Lake Nature Preserve's trails, the Richter Education Center, and office will be closed in observance of the holiday. We will reopen on Friday.
