Delve into the fascinating (and weird) world of fungi with local mycologist, Clare Blencowe, as she leads a circular walk through the woods and meadows of Borde Hill's heritage-listed South Park.
As we explore, we'll discover a diverse array of earthballs, waxcaps, deceivers, funnels, boletes, brackets and bonnets, and any other fungi we find.
Following the walk, Clare will be on hand to provide insights and answer your questions about these fantastic fungi over tea, coffee and cake at our Ginkgo Coffee Shop (included).
The event is suitable for families.
