Fungi Foray - a Portsdown walk
About this event
Autumn and the many colours of the "fall" have inspired both poets and artists alike over the years. But scientists are equally amazed! You may have heard of the wood wide web, the network made up of roots, fungi and microbes in biochemical communication underground. The mushrooms we find in autumn can spring up overnight; they are just the fruiting bodies of each fungal mycelium. Colourful and curious fungi are often easy to spot, whilst others may be hidden in plain sight. This talk will be expertly guided by Countryside Officer Richard Jones, who knows all the subtleties of the local eco-system. Go prepared whatever the weather in walking gear. Starting at Fort Widley East Gate, the route will head north into the woods to see what mushrooms are to be encountered. This walk is unsuitable for pushchairs and there is no charge. Please use public parking near The Churchillian or at the viewpoint.
