Join us for an easy and adventurous walk in the Presidio to learn about and find local fungi!  We'll 

We will start at a meeting location (TBD) then head out to walk an easy route, stopping along the way to learn and explore, and returning to where we started the day.  This event is grounded in curiosity, a sense of wonder, and the joy of tuning into nature with all our senses.  We’ll be joined by local naturalists, who will provide short and interactive talks about the incredible world of fungi, like how to identify fungi, how the mycelium network works, indigenous and medicinal uses, and a short history of foraging.  And we'll search for fungi specimens throughout the walk, too!

People of all ages and all skill levels (especially beginners!) are welcome.  We’ll show you how to use tools to inspect our fungi findings, like macro and hand lenses (which will be provided). You are more than welcome to bring your lunch to have with us after the event.

Additional Info

We will provide a water jug for your water bottles and snacks for the day.

Please bring layers, sunscreen / sun protection, and your water bottle with you. Anything beyond light rain will cancel the event. 

We look forward to discovering and exploring with you!
