Mushrooms at Fernandez Ranch

Come explore the rolling hills of Fernandez Ranch in north Contra Costa County. We'll look for chanterelles, boletes, and a variety of visually stunning fungi. Damon Tighe, a local amateur mycologist will help find and identify whats popping and discuss the role of fungi in the ecosystem.

This hike is moderately difficult, and the trails will be muddy and slippery if there have been recent rains. No dogs, please. Please note that we will NOT be collecting or tasting mushrooms on this walk.
