Forage Fungi in the Forest - Arkville, NY

10:00am- 12:00pm
Catskill Forest Association
The saying goes “There are old mushroom hunters and there are Bold mushroom hunters, but there are no Old and Bold mushroom hunters.” Don’t be a bold mushroom hunter. Join us at the Rider Hollow Trail Head at 10 AM – Noon to learn about mushroom identification, best practices, and learn where to look, what to look for, and especially what to look out for with Catskill Fungi’s John Michelotti.

Please dress for the weather. We will walk rain or shine, unless a severe storm is predicted. This means boots or sneakers.  Optional items to bring include a water bottle, bug/tick repellent, rain coat, or snacks. You are welcome to bring pictures of mushrooms you would like identified.
