Fungi Foray: A guided Walk Through Howick’s hidden kingdom

Ever looked twice at a rotting log and wondered what’s actually going on down there?

We certainly have! That’s why we’ve collaborated with a local fungi legend and expert to come along and explore Howick’s hidden fungi kingdom with us!

Join us for a FREE family-friendly guided walk through Murphy’s Bush to observe, marvel and learn all about the mostly overlooked world of fungi.

Why is there no set date?

Fungi are weather-dependent and are most abundant shortly following rain. Rather than locking in a set date, we’ll tailor our expedition so the forest floor is at its best.

As there is no set date, we will run these events as conditions allow, so please register for the waitlist even if we’re full – we may have time for several events.

When weather conditions are right, we will try to keep the event date to a weekend

What you’ll learn:

• How to spot and identify common fungi species
• Why fungi matter for forest health
• Photography tips (bring a camera!)

What to bring:

• Sturdy shoes
• Raincoat (remember fungi love it damp and wet!)
• Camera or phone for photos
• Curiosity

PLEASE NOTE

Collection of fungi is prohibited from this site without proper permits – we will be enforcing this!
