The walk will be led by Environmental Education Officer and fungi enthusiast, Abi (they/them) and will involve a variety of topics such as:

  • Fungi identification: How to and top tips
  • the roles of fungi in a forest ecosystem
  • What can we learn from fungi?
  • The importance of fungi in relation to the climate crisis

The walk will be at a leisurely pace, ensuring we have enough time to focus on and photograph each species observed.

This is not a foraging walk. We will not be picking any mushrooms as it is against the byelaws of Epping Forest.

Cost: £10 per person (Limited low-income tickets available)
