  • Sunday, June 15, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm – Fungi in the Field

    What is a mushroom anyway? Can you distinguish a bolete from a gilled mushroom? Although fall is considered fungi season in the Northeast, fungi are seasonally cyclical, and different species and types can be found almost anytime. On this New England Wild Flower Society trip on Sunday, June 15, from 1 – 3:30 with naturalist Jef (sic) Taylor, you will explore the Drumlin Farm sanctuary looking for fungi, learning about the crucial and sometimes astonishing roles these fascinating life forms play in ecosystems, and discovering methods for identifying mushrooms and other fungi in the field. $25 for NEWFS members, $29 for nonmembers.
