There are 2 sessions in this event: Forest Mushroom Walk 🍄 and Fungal Workshops on the Farm 🍄‍🟫. 

🚶🏽‍♀️ For the walk, you will get a short introduction to mycology before the walk in the forest. Along the walk, we will touch upon fungal ecology and the identification of different species. 

🌱 For the workshops, you will arrive at the farm and get a short introduction to fungal interactions in the farm, then proceed to hands-on, smaller workshops. They will be about mushroom ID activities, growing or cooking with mushrooms, etc. You will receive the details via email before the event.

We have a maximum capacity in the forest and on the farm, thus the sessions are happening simultaneously in the morning and in the afternoon. Please read carefully and choose accordingly, as it is based on a first-come, first-served system.
