Mushroom Identification Walk: Frost Fish Creek

Date and Time: Saturday, October 29th, 9 - 11am

Distance: app.1 mile, Frost Fish Creek Trail

Guide: Wesley Price

Join Wesley Price, the founder of the Cape Cod Mycological Society, for a guided walk along the Frost Fish Creek Trail. As participants forage, Wesley will identify mushrooms and answer questions.

The 1.1 mile walking trail meanders along the eastern edge of Frost Fish Creek, offering walkers glimpses of an old cranberry operation which has reverted into open wetlands. As you walk along the high trail, borrow pits for sanding the bogs appear on either side of the path. With its unique configuration featuring a brackish freshwater tidal wetland over viewed from upland pine/oak woodlands, this area offers the most varied and numerous opportunities to experience seasonal bird and mammal life in our area.

Your Guide:

Wesley Price founded the Cape Cod Mushroom Society in 2013. A not-for-profit association, the Cape Cod Mycological Society was founded to take walks and inspire a deeper understanding and respect for the ecosystems which support the biodiversity of life on Earth. "Fungi restored my wonder of the natural world and led me to a greater understanding of it," says Wesley.
