Just added! Fall Mushroom Identification Walk For Families

We’ve added two more Fall mushroom hike because the others filled up quickly.  One of them is a shorter walk designed specifically for families with children.  Join local mushroom expert Mike Potts for a slow-paced walk through Lithia Park looking for mushrooms. Potts is an experienced mushroom guide and father of two who knows how to to engage children in the fun world of wild fungi.  The emphasis will be on finding fungi and learning something about identification of edible and poisonous varieties and the diversity of mushroom species.   Meet at the Northwest Nature Shop, 154 Oak St., Ashland at 10:00 am where we’ll gather as a group and then walk to Lithia Park. We’ll return by 12:30 pm. We’ll walk rain or shine so wear appropriate walking shoes, bring a water bottle, and some snacks for the little ones.  Cost is $25 per adult and child pair and $5 for an additional child.  Space is limited so sign up early! Payment at the time of registration is required. Call 541-482-3241 to sign up or email northwestnatureshop@gmail.com
