Description
Excited about fungi? Join us for an educational hike led by an expert in the field from the The Mycological Society of Toronto. As we walk slowly along the trail, we will be viewing and learning about a variety of mushrooms/fungi. If you are thinking about working towards earning our Mushroom Hunter badge, see https://beavervalleybrucetrail.org/earning-badges/ one of our leaders will take photos, do I.D. and send that info to interested participants, just to keep us moving along. Please be dressed for the weather and bring water.

Other Guidelines
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
- Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience. - Always carry I.D. and your health card.
- Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
- Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
- Bring your own first aid kit.
- Please leave dogs at home.
