Hello one and all,
We’re hosting an event for this years UK Fungus Day. The day is aimed at all ages and is open to anyone with any interest in the fascinating world of fungi. We hope the day will be educational, fun and enlightening.
On the day you’ll be able to join us for a fungi foray around the Coed Hills site. We have a great range of habitats here so there will be a good range of fungi to be seen.
We’ll be showing videos and projections of fungi related media, and we hope to have the grand opening of our new Fungi Lab, where we will be cultivating edible and medicinal fungi.
There will be the chance to see fungi up close under the microscope, try a taste of some of our tasty edible mushrooms, and various other fungi themed fun throughout the afternoon. 50 lucky visitors will also go home with their own mushroom grow kit.
The event is free to attend, teas and coffees and light snacks will be available from our cafe. Please come with waterproof clothing and foot wear, and a field guide if you have one.
If you are a local mycologist who could assist with the walks, or if you would like to help out with the running of the event, please get in touch, we’re hoping to make this a great day, so we need all the help we can get!
The day is free to attend, but we may have to limit numbers, so if your interested in attending please visit our website and complete the form at the bottom of this page :www.coedforestgarden.co.uk
