This event has already finished but is here for for your information

Marty Augustine of the Prairie State Mushroom Club will lead participants on a search for fungus at Wickiup Hill on this morning. Meet at the Wickiup Hill Learning Center in classroom A.

 We will have a program on mushroom identification initially. Then we will head to the woods to see what we can find. Of course, at this time of year many folk’s thoughts will be on the tasty morel mushrooms– though we will see many other kinds of fungi as well. We will learn a bit more about local mushrooms and what was located at the end of the program– who knows, maybe someone will even share their favorite spots? Bring a container to collect mushrooms and dress for conditions that may include ticks, mosquitoes or poison ivy.
