This community-powered event, open to anyone with a curiosity about the natural world, promises an educational and enjoyable morning without the hassle of registration or fees. It’s a perfect opportunity not only for budding mycologists but also for families, nature lovers, and photography enthusiasts aiming to capture the understated beauty of local ecosystems.
