Fall Mushroom Walk

Learn more about the fascinating world of mushrooms and fungi and meet other nature enthusiasts! 

We’ll be joined by Steel City Spore, who will lead us on a guided exploration through Fern Hollow in Frick Park, after which we’ll reconvene to identify and discuss what we found. 

Participants can choose to stick with the group for the hike (roughly 1 mile) or wander on their own path and bring their finds back to the group for identification and discussion.

Participants also have the option to reserve a home mushroom cultivation kit for $15. Pay upon pick up at the end of the event and choose between blue oyster and lions mane mushroom varieties.

The start and end point for this event will be the Biddle Avenue Parking Area of Frick Park, located at the intersection of Biddle Ave. & South Braddock Ave. By bus, this stop can be accessed on the 61A or 61B.

This event is at capacity and the RSVP period has ended. Keep an eye on our calendar for other great UpstreamPgh events!
