Have you always wanted to know more about the mushrooms and other fungi growing in our woodlands? Join

mycologist and naturalist Marlene Snecinski, aka Mushroom Marlene, for NHLT's third, annual guided trail walk
to identify and learn about wild mushrooms. 

 

Marlene will tell us fascinating fungi
facts including which ones are sought after as delicacies and which ones to avoid. She is a member of the Connecticut Valley Mycological Society and leads a variety of mushroom walks and programs throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts.

 

Wear appropriate shoes and clothing
for the weather.This will be an easy to moderate hike. We will generally be on the trail but you may want to go off
trail to look at certain fungi. 

 

We are limiting the number of participants to 25 for this program. Please e-mail NHLT or call 860-489-4118 as soon as possible if you plan to join to reserve a spot. Please provide your name and phone number or e-mail address. The Mushroom Hike will go forward if there is a light drizzle but
will postpone if raining. NHLT will notify registrants if the walk is postponed.
