The Rhode Island Land Trust Council is posting this event on behalf of the Richmond Rural Preservation Land Trust. For this event, RRPLT requires that you register directly with them. Please register here.

Join us at the Bradner Preserve trailhead at 10 a.m. for a fun and educational fungal foray! We’ll divide into small teams and explore the trails, searching for the diverse fungi that call the preserve home. After about an hour of searching, we’ll reconvene at the trailhead to gather around the ID table. There, we’ll share our collections, record our discoveries, and discuss the fascinating fungi we’ve found.

Please bring water, a light snack for yourself, and bug spray. Wear appropriate clothing to protect yourself from ticks. Children are always welcome but please no pets at this fungal frolic — we would like to focus on the mushrooms!

Please be aware that this is NOT a foraging walk and we are not collecting mushrooms to eat them! This is to document species and their ecology.

Registration is limited to 20 participants. If you sign up and realize you cannot attend, please reach out, so we can give your space to another person.
