Tilden Fungus Fair 2021
/The pandemic stiff armed the Tilden Fungus Fair into going online this year, which isn’t as bad as it all sounds. Although there was not the opportunity for the public to come through and examine mushrooms from our local area in person going online made the Fungus Fair available to a lot more people.
A recording of the entire day is up on youtube so anyone can get at it:
