The mushroom guided walk is led by Ed Braley, certified in wild mushroom safety, goes along the wood land trails finding and identifying mushrooms that he is familiar with. Ongoing discussions will include characteristics used for identification, life cycles, new research and edible vs medicinal species.

Our plant walk this year is focused on edible plants, not only ones in abundance during the summer months but “how to eat a tree”, finding what is available year round. Back at the barn Annett Burriello will have her famous dandelion coffee and samples of what was discussed on her walk.
