Join Charlotte Caplan, former president and current member of the Asheville Mushroom Club, in learning about and searching for a variety of fascinating and beautiful fungi.

Whet your appetite with an overview of edible and non-edible mushrooms. Participants will hike up to two hours along Park trails or “off the beaten path” looking for a dozen or two of the estimated 1,000 species of fungi that could be growing in the Park. Limited to 20 people. 9:30 AM-noon

Can't make it today?  Additional "Wild Mushroom Walks" will be offered on September 13, 20 and 27.
