June Mushroom Walk with Vermont Mycological Society

Come join us for a fun and educational mushroom walk at Molly Stark State Park with the Vermont Mycological Society! Explore the beautiful trails while learning about different types of mushrooms and their importance in our ecosystem. We will be walking for approximately 2 hours with an informal table talk afterwards to discuss our finds.

Admssion to the state park is $5/adult, not included in this event ticket.

Please note that this is not a foraging walk, so we won't be focused on collecting large amounts of edibles. Please bring water, lunch and a way to carry your finds-- either some paper bags, or plastic takeout containers with some holes for airflow punched in them work quite well. A pocket knife can also be useful. Please dress for hiking, though we will be going very slowly and steadily so not to lose anyone.

Organized by

The Vermont Mycological Society holds forays, talks, and promotes the love of mycology throughout Vermont. We aim to teach the public not only about common edibles, but about all the fascinating things beyond foraging— the weird, wild, and alien life that lives all around us, yet remains some of the most understudied parts of our natural world.
