Join us at The Armitt for a hunt for fungi - This time we will be exploring locations that Beatrix Potter used to visit
This year, the fungi walks will be located away from The Armitt:
6th September - Wray Castle
4th October - Holehird Gardens
Taking inspiration from Beatrix Potter, this years Fungi walks will take place at key locations that Potter visited during her time in the Lake District.
About the mycologist
Helen Speed is a fungi enthusiast who has been fascinated by fungi, in all their forms, for over 30 years. More recently, she has become a Beatrix Potter enthusiast too and would love to revisit all the sites that Beatrix found fungi in to see whether the same species still grow there. She regularly leads forays and delivers talks about fungi (and Beatrix) to groups in the South Lakes. She is a member of North West Fungus Group, Clyde and Argyll Fungus Group, the British Mycological Society and the Fungus Conservation Trust.
