An Introduction to The Fungi Kingdom

Want to know more about the special plants and fauna living at Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush? The Ōtari-Wilton's Bush Trust's annual programme of Sunday guided walks offers the opportunity to explore with the experts, discover where all these special things live and learn more about them and what’s being done to protect them.

For this week's walk, learn how fungi are different from plants and have their own biological kingdom. Let mycologist, Geoff Ridley, introduce this enormous biological kingdom and give you an idea of where to find fungi in Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush.

Easy walking although sensible walking shoes are recommended. Family groups are welcome.
Meet at the Ōtari Visitor Centre, Tāne Whakapiripiri at 2pm.
All walks are free to Trust members, you can sign-up through their website shown above.
