Beginner Mushroom Identification

  • Barking Slopes – Upper Access 370 Coxcomb Hill Road New Kensington, Pennsylvania, 15068 United States (map)

Event presented by Allegheny Land Trust

Join ALT staff and WPMC Identifiers, Julie Travaglini and Sara Klingensmith, for a beginner’s mushroom walk at Barking Slopes, as part of the Outdoor Inclusion Coalition’s TRY IT! Series. This is not a traditional guided hike. After an introduction, participants will search for our fungal friends to collect for a beginner friendly identification table at the end of the program.

Hike runs rain or shine. NO WALK-INS will be permitted. We will not be foraging on this hike or discussing edibility. Foraging for mushrooms can be risky and it is never safe to eat a wild mushroom unless an expert confirms the identity.
