Fantastic Fungi is back on!

This easy nature walk across the University of York campus is perfect for anyone interested in learning more about local fungi species, requiring no prior knowledge! There will be lots of opportunity to stop and look for mushrooms in some key fungi hotspots, and to ask any questions you may have.
