Meet us as Grove 16 at Montrose Beach at Noon! We will walk through the bird sanctuary, and around the surrounding dunes and parks. Dunes and sandy soil can be home to some unique species of fungi. Plus, we will see cool birds and bugs! Bonus!

Our meetups are family friendly, relaxed, and free!

Upon arriving, we will walk together as a group through the forest. Along the way, we will discuss the fungi we find, their identifying features, and their importance to the ecosystem.

Due to our meetups typically taking place in Illinois Forest Preserves, we will not be harvesting any of the fungi we find.

We will however be observing, documenting, photographing, and discussing our finds.
