The best way to learn mushroom identification is firsthand. Touch and smell are some of the best senses one can utilize for identifying mushrooms. If lack of experience or access to property is an issue, then connect with us for an opportunity to learn in the field with experienced foragers. In this class you will learn the basics of mushroom identification. You will also learn to identify edible mushrooms, toxic mushrooms, and their common look-a-likes. Furthermore, best practices for harvesting, transporting, and preserving mushrooms are covered. Finally, you will be given ample resources to continue your mushroom education independently.
This excursion takes place in a beautiful natural setting where we can guarantee plenty of fresh air and new knowledge. The best part? All necessary tools are provided by us so anyone who signs up has nothing else they need to worry about except having some quality time outdoors surrounded by nature.
Please wear appropriate hiking clothes and bring snacks, water, sunglasses, and bug spray if needed.
This is a moderately difficult trail with slopes, rocks, and branches. Not recommended for strollers, wheelchairs, or other assistive devices.
You must register online before attending. Children 12 and under attend for free.
Please note: This group will be meeting at the Old Mill Wheel parking lot at Mount Berry College and leaving at 10:00AM EST sharp. Please arrive a few minutes early so you do not get left behind.
