Fluorescent Mushroom Foray
Cook Forest State Park 100 PA 36, Cooksburg, PA, United StatesJoin Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club mycologists & identifiers at the Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom for a moderate hike through the Forest Cathedral at night. We will use 365nm UV flashlights to light up the trail and search for fungi that glow in response to ultraviolet light. Expect to walk 1-2 miles, but participants can shorten the distance as needed. Participants should bring a headlamp, ideally with a red light, and wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. Participants are encouraged to bring their own UV flashlight. Leaders will provide protective eyewear.
