Fascinating Fungi Guided Walk
Join us with mycologists from the north west fungus group for a guided fungi walk. We will be exploring Formby’s woodlands in search of the fungal species that grow here.
- Booking essential
This walk is suitable for fungi enthusiasts or people who are curious about the extraordinary subject of fungi, how to identify and record them, their conservation, microscopy and recommendations for books and literature.
The walk will last for 2 hours and will be a stop start event where we will talk to you about what we have found. If you have your own microscopes, the north west fungus group recommends bringing them along, as they can be a useful way to take a closer look at any interesting fungal specimens we may find during the event.
Parking is free for participants.
Tickets are limited so booking is essential for members and non members alike.
