Spontaneous tourism! These ghosties can be unpredictable and are sensitive to climatic changes. Tours are generally in the months of May and June with tours conducted close to a new moon. Tours are released a few days prior to departure so check socials for updates.
Ghost Mushroom tours are a 30 – 45 minute guided adventure into the forest at night. You will learn some facts about the Ghost Mushroom and have time to let your eyes adjust to the dark so you can see the mushrooms glow in all their glory. Maximum group of 15 people, unless a private group booking more can be accommodated.
The mushrooms glow white with the naked eye, the green glow can only be picked up by the long exposure of a camera not the naked eye.
This experience is suited to people with an average level of fitness. Warm clothes, closed-toe footwear and a torch are a must. The ground is irregular and uneven, with loose surfaces. As the glow of the Ghost Mushroom can only be seen after dark, visibility is also poor.
