Join us at the Arboretum as we go in search of fascinating fungi. Learn more about the rich diversity of fungi native to our countryside and gardens, and about the crucial role they play in the ecosystem.

Please note that this is not a foraging event; we will not be collecting fungi to take away and ask visitors to leave fungi for others to enjoy. UK Fungus Day is an annual celebration run by the British Mycological Society.
This event is included with your Arboretum entry ticket; you may book your ticket in advance below but this is not required.
There will be three separate short walks to explore the fungi of the arboretum. Numbers in each group will need to be restricted for practical reasons so please collect a ticket on arrival. Tickets allocated on first-come first-served basis and will only be available from 1pm on the day.
