About the event
What does the presence of fungi mean? What do they do and what are they doing in central London?
Join us for a gentle guided walk around Grosvenor Square to discover the fascinating world of fungi. Learn how to spot them, where they grow, and the important role they play in supporting urban ecosystems.
As nature is wonderfully unpredictable, we'll be looking for fungi in the landscape as we go. If they're keeping out of sight, there will be pre-collected specimens to explore alongside insights into the species that can be found in spaces like Grosvenor Square.
What to expect:
- Introduction to Grosvenor Square
- Guided fungi-spotting walk
- Insights into species and their ecological role
- Pre-collected specimens to examine
This event is aimed at adults aged 18+, but can be inclusive for young people aged 11 and above, who must be accompanied by an adult and must have a ticket.
Further information will be sent out prior to the event.
All proceeds from this event enable London Wildlife Trust's mission of nature recovery for a thriving city.
