Join fungi experts from the Yorkshire Nationalist Union to hunt for fantastic fungi!

On this guided session experts Yannah and Andy from Yorkshire Naturalist Union will help you explore the fascinating world of fungi. From the underground world to the fruiting mushroom bodies which appear from almost nowhere during wet weather. You might see anything from a milkcap to a bracket to a brittlegill. Who knows what you will discover!

Embrace your wild side - what to expect:

A ccessibility and terrain

The wooden boardwalk is accessible for wheelchair users and buggies. It is a short loop, with a sloped track from the carpark, which can be accessed at all times . Wellies are required for the rest of the site which is boggy with deep pools and ditches.

What to bring/wear

This event takes place outside so brace yourself for the Yorkshire weather! Sturdy footwear is always recommended. The walk will mainly be on the boardwalk but in damp conditions wellies and waterproof clothing is also recommended.

If you have any id books please bring them with you.

Toilets and catering

There are no facilities on site but you can find accessible toilets at Askham Bar park and ride.

You're welcome to bring a drink and/or snack with you but please take your litter home with you.
