FUNGI WALK WITH FRED
2 PM, Sunday, October 27, 2024
Sign up appreciated: Please send an email to fredmhaynes55@gmail.com if you plan to attend!
We will join the Victor Hiking group for this walk through Zurich Bog led by Fred Haynes.
Join
us for an educational walk to look for mushrooms. Our guide Fred Haynes
will lead a 2.5 mile loop walk in Zurich Bog, and show us why October
is prime time for finding all types of interesting fungi. The loop walk
takes a bit more than two hours, and there is a lot to see. It generally
takes four hours to make the full loop, but it can also be walked part
way, and then back out the same way. This location has the interesting
aspect of being partially a bog and partially a fen (which has both a
geology and biology component) while having a small drumlin in the
middle.
