Join the fun and explore the fungi and forest with Deana Thomas and Alison Poole of the Rhode Island Mycological Society at the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace. They will help guests look out for and identify the many varieties of mushrooms that grow at this historic location, and talk about how fungi help our ecosystems stay healthy. The specimens collected on the walk will be brought back to sketch and learn from. (This is not a foraging walk.) Mushroom collections will be available throughout the event for those who want to just sit, soak in the beautiful scenery, and draw fungi. All ages are welcome. This event does not require registration; stop by and you can stay for as long as you would like. This program is available to all guests with admission.
