Learn about the fascinating world of the fungi kingdom and how it plays an essential role in the ecosystems of the world. Under the very ground we step on is an intricate mycelium network dubbed the "wood-wide web" that connects our forests together. This night hike is intended to help us find and view bioluminescent and bioflourescent species; you will be provided a special UV light that will help us locate them. Get ready to open your eyes to the magic of mushrooms! $7, ages 10+
