(MD) (Mycological Society of Washington) Join us for a day of forays and fun at Brookside Gardens Sunday October 12, from 12 pm to 5 pm. Open to the general public, the 2025 MAW Mushroom Fair will feature several mushroom-themed demonstrations, including a walkthrough of interesting mushroom specimens by our club’s expert identifiers, spore microscopy, mycelial sculpting, mushroom cultivation and more. This family-friendly event will also feature kids’ activities, including a trio of mushroom-themed books read by the author (MAW’s own AD Gray). 

Mushroom walks will depart every half hour to explore the grounds of Brookside Gardens and Wheaton Regional Park.
