Onteora Lake
Near West Hurley
The Onteora Lake parking area is on the right side of Route 28 when heading from Kingston to Woodstock (approx 3.5 miles from the traffic circle). It’s across the street from Brad’s Barns. When you see the brown sign with a fish icon, slow down and put your blinker on. Follow the gravel driveway to the lower lot and park there.
Since mushrooms and trees have intertwined relationships, knowing your trees helps you know your mushrooms. Certain types of fungi only grow with specific trees, while others are generalists. Knowing which trees are growing in a forest alludes to which fungi we can expect to find during the changing seasons. Through recognizing a few common trees, any walk we take can bring us closer together with the interconnection under our feet and the types of mushrooms can present themselves when conditions are right. Throughout this workshop we will explore tree bark, the intersecting relationships of plants and fungi, and the mushrooms that occur from these relationships.
REGISTRATION IS FULL. PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM TO GET ON OUR WAITILIST.
