Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation

Mushroom Forays


The best time to see varieties of wild mushrooms mainly depends on seasonal rain levels. Mark McLean will lead two Mushroom Forays this summer:


  • Sunday August 18, on the Bondi Resort trails, Port Cunnington peninsula


  • Saturday August 31, on the Sherborne Lake trail south of Dorset NOTE: Registration is full. Send an email to the address below to join our waiting list.  We'll contact you if we have any cancellations.


Start times will be 9:00am and we'll be done around noon.


Mushrooms come in all shapes, sizes and colours. We will try to find and identify as many species as possible. Sharp eyes will be needed to detect the specimens on the forest floor. This is a great opportunity to learn about mushrooms in general, and which kinds grow around Lake of Bays. 


Participants should wear good walking shoes and bring bug spray and water.
