Spore Walks!
A series of mushroom walks around the Pioneer Valley!
Join us for Sunday Mushroom Walks at various sites in the Pioneer Valley, where we’ll explore the mysteries of woodland mushrooms through the summer and early fall. We will explore how one gets to know mushrooms of all kinds—edible, medicinal, poisonous, slimy, fragrant, and just-plain-beautiful. Join us for mushroom discovery, group activities, and creative collaboration on a deeper mushroom-themed, two day event at the end of September—the height of mushroom time. Stay tuned!
