While the colorful trees and migrating birds of Green-Wood get lots of buzz (and Instagram posts), visitors might not know about the bounty of mushrooms sprouting throughout the cemetery’s 478 verdant acres. Ethan Crenson, a longtime member of the New York Mycological Society leads an exploration of Green-Wood’s fungi. Learn the basics of identifying mushroom species and the crucial differences between edible and poisonous varieties. This tour is a great opportunity for novice and expert mycologists alike to gain important insights for the next hike in the woods or trip to the farmers market.
Comfortable footwear recommended.
$10 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $15 for non-members
