Pictures from the Early Summer Foraging for Mushrooms Hike

We didn’t see any mushrooms — probably because it has been so dry! As always, Samantha did a great job with teaching. The kids in attendance had a great time! Click image to view the photos…

Here are pictures from our hike with Samantha Dobson to learn about and find mushrooms. It was a perfect day after the rain kind of hike; the sun came out and so did the mushrooms.

Our first Forest Classroom activity of the season was well-attended! We hiked with Samantha Dobson on (and off) the Capser Trail in search of Oyster mushrooms. Because mushrooms are 85-90% water, rain is great for mushroom hunting, although right after the rain when the sun comes back out is the best time. You always learn something new when you hunt mushrooms with Samantha! The next mushroom walk is September 10th. Mark your calendars now!

A few hardy souls turned out for our annual bird hike on a rainy Memorial Weekend Saturday morning. We were hoping for one of those misty mornings when you get to see birds in ways you might not see them otherwise, but mist turned to rain and we got to see one noisy robin before we decided to abandon the hike… Looking forward to the two MIWP summer events at the museum that feature birds!
