Fall Fungus Frenzy
We had one of the best turnouts ever for a KNPS monthly event on Oct. 5th as Bill Olmsted led a mushroom walk through Horse Barn Valley. Nearly 50 people turned out to learn about the amazing variety of fungi that populate the area and Bill did a great job explaing both general and specific information about mushrooms of all kinds.
