About the event

Fungi can thrive many different environments including in the middle of cities.

Join fungus expert Lukas Large from the West Midlands Fungus Group for a foray at Eastside City Park to learn about the surprising variety of species that can be found in parks, gardens and other urban habitats.

Whilst we cannot be certain which fungus we will see on the day, this site is an excellent location to discover fungi (including some fascinating species) right in the heart of Birmingham City Centre - there will be much to see and learn!

Please arrive 5 minutes before the scheduled start time, meeting at the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust gazebo at Eastside City Park.

This event is taking place as part of the first Birmingham Fungi Festival. Click here to find details of what else is going on, including fungi forays, talks and workshops!

We look forward to seeing you there.
