Kids Zone: Mushroom Exploration with Mainspring
This event will occur from 3:30pm-5:00pm on Thursday, October 23rd. During the first half of the event, Outreach Director Skye will guide beginner mycologists (mushrooms scientists!) through a slideshow presentation where we will discover what a fungus is, the purpose of a mushroom, what fungi eat, and how these creatures benefit the world around them. After the talk, attendees will be invited to explore and ask questions about real mushroom specimens!
Please note: all mushrooms are safe to touch and handle, and no deadly poisonous specimens will be available at the exploration table, but as a precaution parents are requested to to keep an eye on their young children as they explore the mushrooms. Thank you!
This program is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. This event is geared towards children 5-12 years old, but we welcome attendees of all ages! Email Skye (scahoon@mainspringconserves.org) with any questions.
