About Project Mushroom
Project Mushroom is a hand-built, rider-led trail designed from feedback gathered during the Tarland Trails community survey. With permission from local landowners, this trail flows in harmony with the existing network at Tarland Trails Pittenderich.
While final length and grade are still TBC, it promises a natural ride experience, crafted with care and precision by volunteers. Berms, flow, and thoughtful features are at the heart of the build — all shaped by the community.
