Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary Mushroom Foray
Saturday, June 4, 2022 / 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
The Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary (LTNS) is a pristine 655 acre property with trails and flowing creeks through quiet forests of huge magnolias, towering pines, holly, and dogwood trees. There are five meadows comprising a little more than fifty acres and more than twenty miles of foot trails and undeveloped roads. We feel blessed to be able to explore the flora, fauna, and funga of this diverse land!
This event is for people that want to explore the diverse ecosystem of LTNS while sharpening their ID skills, and learning more about the fungi queendom. You do not need to be an expert or CTMS member to participate - this is a learning opportunity and the more eyes we have the more we will discover together.
