About the event

Join us at Wren’s Nest National Nature Reserve in Dudley for a walk led by fungus expert Lukas Large from the West Midlands Fungus Group. We will go hunting for fungi and learn about the surprising variety of species that can be found in different habitats around the West Midlands.

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 and rare species - there will be much to see and learn!

Please arrive 5 minutes before the scheduled start time, meeting at the reserve entrance, next to the car park off Wren’s Hill Road (DY1 3SB, what3words: dates.successes.discrepancy).

Additional information:

• The walk will last approximately 2 hours and will go off paved paths onto grass and potentially muddy and uneven areas, in the hunt for fungi.
• This event is weather dependent so please wear suitable clothing and footwear. Should heavy rain be forecast, the event is subject to cancellation but notice will be given as early as possible and refunds issued.
• Children must be accompanied by an adult.
• Free parking should be available at the reserve’s car park off Wren’s Hill Road. If the car park is closed or full, there’s parking on Fossil View (DY1 3SS) on the grass verge side of the road.
