Join us as we co-host the Philly Myco Club’s fall social. The event is free but we ask that you register so we can get a headcount. Read the Philly Myco Club’s event description below for more information.
For the 5th year in a row we’ll be getting together to socialize, eat, carve pumpkins, and see who makes the best maitake (or other mushroom) jerky. Everyone is invited! This year we are also doing a costume contest, mushroom themed costumes are highly encouraged. Winner will receive a Philly Myco Club (PMC) merch bundle and bragging rights.
** IF YOU ARE BRINGING A DISH to share please make a list of all the ingredients used, to be displayed on the table. We will provide index cards if you need them. If your dish contains wild mushrooms that you foraged, please make sure that you had them properly identified, and preferably retain pictures of the mushroom you cooked (on your phone, etc).
From 3:30 to 4:30 we will have a guided mushroom walk around the property. We will have a mushroom ID table so bring your recent finds for identification! We will also have PMC merch for sale.
Snacks and drinks will be provided but you are encouraged to bring something to share if you’d like. This event is free and paid for by donations to the PMC.
Meet near the Lower Merion Conservancy Cottage, off to the left as you drive into the park, away from the dog park.
