Venture into Rushmoor Bottom at Dukes Wood starting at the Wellington Statue for some fungi fun!

Search for fungus growing on trees, growing on deadwood and amongst the forest floor.

On this self-led walking tour, you will follow the footsteps of Hampshire Mycologist Eric Janke (Hampshire Fungus Recording Group) in search of mushrooms - the fruiting bodies of fungi!

See which ones you can find as we near the end of the main fungi fruiting season!
