Marvelous Mushrooms (Guided Walk) – All Ages

Witty’s Lagoon Regional Park (Metchosin) 

For the beginner mushroom explorer, join a CRD Regional Parks naturalist to discover more about fungi in the forest. We’ll leave the harvesting to the forest animals and use our eyes to spot different types of mushrooms. 

Meeting place: The Teaching Shelter, off the Lagoon Trail. Park at the main parking lot off Metchosin Road and proceed down the main trail, turning left onto the Lagoon trail. Allow approximately 10 minutes walking time from parking lot. BC Transit #54 or #55 

Trail description: 800m total distance. A steep wide gravel trail near the main parking lot, leading to a narrow trail with tree roots. The surface for the walk itself is a combination of gravel and compact clay-like soil. One bench on route. Accessible pit toilet available near parking lot and Teaching Shelter. Not stroller friendly.

Please note: We like pets too. However, their presence can be disruptive for some folks. If you plan to attend one of our programs, please leave pets at home. Guide and service animals are, of course, welcome.
