The Central U.P. Chapter of Wild Ones will be holding its annual "Mushroom Walk" on Sunday, Sept. 13th @ 3:00 pm  at the West Side Recreation Area in Escanaba off of 19th Ave. North (the “landfill road”). Turn left at the Great Lakes Sports club, go over the railroad tracks, then left at the "T" and meet at the parking lot.  In this beginner–focused event, local fungiphiles Laurie Johnson and Jim Gehling will guide participants through the ins and outs of fungus identification,  ecology, and safe foraging. We will go for an easy hike to look for and identify mushrooms and fungi of all types. 

This is a family friendly event, and all are welcome. Dress for the weather. Bring along any interesting fungi you have found; it's great to have a variety of specimens to look at! (Please harvest responsibly.)
