Details

Event Type Hudson River Estuary Exploration/Environmental Education Description Join us for a new workshop where we will debunk the mysteries of mushrooms and learn about how to grow your own! We will be exploring how native fungi function in the ecosystem and some of the unique characteristics of the forest at Sam’s Point. During the program we will take a walk to look for fungi along the trail and make spore prints from any fresh finds. Then, we will learn about and experience the process of growing mushrooms via log inoculation. The logs will be placed in our garden so visitors can return and watch them flourish. We will also have mushroom kits for you to take home. This program is open to all ages and levels of experience. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. This program is being offered at the Sam’s Point Area in Cragsmoor. Organization Hosting the Event Sam's Point Area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve
