💜🍄 We spotted the mysterious purple mushroom again on the Barton Creek Greenbelt—and it GLOWS under UV light! ✨

We’re deep in mushroom season in Central & East Texas: chanterelles, scarlet elf cups, snow fungus, and more. Next up? Summer solstice weekend with two mushroom walks + a forest-to-farm dinner in deep East Texas. Plus Sunday at Watson Preserve (carnivorous plants included 🌱).

Only a few tickets left. Come forage with top mycology experts!
