New York Mycology Walk and Art Workshop 2 hr

Trade the city’s daily rush for a closer look at the small, surprising world of fungi. On this 2-hour New York mycology walk and art workshop, expert guides introduce you to fungi and the vital roles they play in healthy ecosystems.

As you explore, learn identification tips and observe fungi through their shapes, textures, and scents. Your guides share examples such as the spore release of Dead Man’s Fingers and cooking ideas for Chicken of the Woods, along with insights into how fungi enrich soil and support plant life. A mushroom tasting adds a flavorful dimension to the experience.

The walk continues with a hands-on art activity inspired by what you’ve noticed. Try creative approaches such as drawing, watercolor, cyanotype printing, or capturing textures and shadows, then take home the artwork you make. Activities vary from one experience to the next, so each walk offers a fresh perspective. A digital booklet provides additional insights and resources.

Bring comfortable outdoor clothing, water, and a camera, and enjoy a thoughtful change of pace. Book this New York mycology walk and art workshop to explore nature through observation, learning, and creativity.
