This beginner-friendly class is perfect for those new to foraging or anyone looking to go on a mushroom hunt in the woods. Together, we’ll learn all about foraging safely for common, edible mushrooms.
What to Expect
Interactive Education: Start with an engaging presentation discussing everything you need to know to get started foraging. Get hands-on with fresh examples (if available) to practice identifying key features before we head out to the forest.
Forest Exploration: Wander through woods as we search for and harvest edible wild mushrooms. We will also be identifying important trees along the way.
Potential Finds: Spring mushrooms like oysters, morels, pheasant back, deer mushrooms, and more! While we will focus our hunt on mushrooms, we will point out (but not harvest) edible plants as well.
Community and Sharing: Bring home any mushrooms we find! If we find enough, we’ll divide them evenly to ensure everyone leaves with a treat.
Gear Up: Browse foraging essentials like mushroom knives, books, and other tools available for purchase.
