Join us on Sunday, September 13th at 2pm SHARP to learn and relax in nature with mushrooms

For our first ever walk in Melrose, our teammate Darren Parker will be leading this chill communion among the trees as you discover fungi and their secret lives that make all life on earth possible. A nature photographer and avid mushroom hunter, Darren will equip you with the beginning (or advanced skills) to identify fungi species and their greater significance for the biosphere.

Please sign up here for the address of the meeting location and to be added to the google calendar event for updates on this and future events near you.

Please do not be late because you may not be able to find us after we embark!

Our events are for all ages, stages, and experience levels, so don’t be shy if you’re new to the world of fungi.

This event is rain or shine. Mushrooms love the rain!

Please wear comfy, close-toed shoes, wear sunscreen, and bring some water.

This event is fun and accessible for all ages (family friendly). Leashed companions allowed!

If you have a disability, we will happily accommodate you: team@baystatersnm.com

We cannot condone removing or disturbing fungi or plants because this is a common rule in many public areas.
