Have an un-fungi-table time with the rangers on a stroll around the park and an introduction to fungi identification.

Ever wondered how to tell the difference between different types of fungi? Do you know your puffballs from your parasols? Your brackets from your blewits?

Help us celebrate UK Fungus Day by joining our expert rangers for our Introduction to Fungi Identification Walk! The event will entail a leisurely stroll around the park with some top tips for identifying different types of fungi.

Families are welcome. Some areas of the walk may be muddy, so please dress appropriately and wear sensible footwear. Bring a camera or your phone along to take photos of your findings and upload them to online identification apps or recording schemes such as Obsidentify and IRecord.

The meeting point is at the visitor centre, with a departure time of 1pm.
