The Rochester Land Trust will host a mushroom walk on the Church’s Field property on Mattapoisett Road on Saturday, October 6, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The 30-acre property is approximately a mile north of the Mattapoisett/Rochester town line and a mile south of New Bedford Road. There is ample parking along the field’s edge.

Wesley Price of Cape Cod is a member of the Boston Mycological Club and he  will lead the group, searching for various genus of fungi that can be found in field, woodland and wetland locations. Wesley, an amateur mycologist, is a UMass Amherst graduate in Microbiology. He has studied under noted mycologists and has grows various cultivated mushrooms.

This event will be held rain or shine, and though the walk will be geared to adults, families are welcome, with the understanding that parents are responsible for supervising their children’s collecting. Dogs on leashes at all times are allowed. All precautions for mosquito and tick borne illnesses should be considered. Participants might want to bring a basket, knife and wax paper or paper bags for collecting.
