Whether you're a mycologist, a mushroom enthusiast, or want to know more about these amazing fungi, please come and join VOF's Preserve Staff for a hike to search and identify mushrooms on our preserve's south section.
What is this? A chance to learn about mushrooms and identifying techniques while hiking under the beautiful fall foliage. The hike will be an easy-going 2.5 miles total.
Where is it? The South Section of the Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve. Park at the end of Beverly Mills Drive. We will meet at the trailhead there.
When? Saturday, September 28th 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM
What to Bring: Water, a snack, repellent (tick prevention!) and your curiosity.
What is this NOT? This is not a chance to forage. As tasty as some of the mushrooms might be, we will leave the fungus where we find them on the preserve.
(Here's your reminder that there are no dogs allowed on preserve trails. Thank you!)
For any questions, please email Conservation Assistant Deneith Reif at dreif@vof.org
Hope to see you there!
PS: Remember, if you have RSVPed and then decide that you cannot come, please change your status so that others on the waiting list can be signed up. Thank you!
