Fungal foray at Huntly Wood
Interested in learning more about the fantastic world of fungi? Join us at Huntly Wood with expert mycologist Neville Kilkenny this autumn!
Huntly Wood, Dundee
Join expert mycologist Neville Kilkenny on a guided walk around Huntly Wood near Dundee this autumn.
As well as discovering the amazing diversity of fungi found in Scotland, we will explore the important role these organisms play in the functioning of life on our planet and in our everyday lives.
This event is prefect for anyone interested in mycology (the study of fungi) or foraging, from total novice to mycology master!
Please note that any fungi collected for the intention of eating will need to be inspected by the walk leader and those who choose to consume collected fungi on the walk do so entirely at their own risk. Any attendees who subsequently go foraging are responsible for proper identification and sustainable harvesting.
This is a free event, but booking via Eventbrite is essential.
There are no toilet facilities onsite. The nearest public toilets are a 15-minute drive away at Camperdown Park, Coupar Angus Road, Muirhead.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for spending time outdoors. Good waterproofs, walking boots and warm layers are advised.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or a guardian.
