Explore the Forest Floor: Mushroom ID in the Wild Take your fungal knowledge from lecture to forest floor in this guided mushroom walk—an ideal companion to our Fungal Foundations lecture.

Explore the rich diversity of mushrooms found in New England’s woodlands while learning practical field techniques for identification.

Led by mycology expert Jonathan Kranz, this outdoor session will teach you how to recognize key features like cap shape, gill structure, spore prints, and habitat associations.

Along the way, we’ll discuss how these remarkable organisms fit into the larger forest ecosystem—supporting soil health, decomposing organic matter, and forming symbiotic relationships with plants.

Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike, this walk offers a chance to connect with fungi in their natural environment.
