Mushrooms at the Marsh

As nature winds down for fall, the forest is alive with mushrooms at the Apalachin Marsh!

Join naturalist Michelle to look for mushrooms, the fruiting bodies of fungi, at the Marsh. Rainy late summer days create the perfect conditions for fungi to grow. We will look for and talk about a variety of fungi and their ecological roles in the forest.

Sturdy footwear is recommended, as trails may be muddy.

Location information:

The Apalachin Marsh parking area is a gravel pullout off of the Westbound lane of NY Rt. 434, around half a mile from the turnoff to Hilton Road. There is a small green Tioga Trails sign on the fence where the trail begins. The location is marked on Google Maps, but not on Apple Maps.
