Explore the fungus among us and learn how mushrooms help the ecosystem of the Genesee River on this walk led by experts from the Rochester Mycological Association. Please note - this is a walk to see and learn, NOT to forage for mushrooms.
The trail at Turning Point is ADA accessible. We will meet at the parking lot - look for the mushroom sign.
This mushroom walk probably won’t get to the beautiful boardwalk over the river - but leave time afterwards to explore this scenic spot. Bring binoculars to look for herons, ducks, turtles and more. If you pack a picnic, please do not feed the wildlife and take all trash with you.
Please bring a water bottle, dress for the weather, and wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. We encourage long pants as you’ll go off trail to look for mushrooms.
This walk is fun for all ages, and is especially family friendly - kids make great mushroom hunters. Pets on a leash are welcome.
Accessibility: There is off-street parking available, and the trail is a combination of paved and boardwalk. There is no bathroom.
