About this event

Join our local naturalist, Dave Winnard, on one of our autumn forays to learn about the fascinating world of fungi. Find out how to identify mushrooms and about why life as we know it wouldn’t exist without them! Autumn is the best time to go fungi spotting and you can expect to see a startling array of shapes and colours in the woods and green spaces in the Clough.

This family event is completely free, but booking is essential. The walk includes gentle slopes and inclines.

Meet at the St Mary's Rd entrance to the Clough (close to the St Mary's Rd/Joyce St junction) the blue gate by the side of St Marys Nursing Home, Manchester M40 0BL what3words ///fence.help.hails
