Queer-Led Mushroom Forage
About this Event
We will be foraging for mushrooms, and occasional lichens and plants, in the Asheville area. Some will be edible, some medicinal, and some just pretty to look at! A great intro course to the mushrooms of WNC.
On Queer-specific mushroom tours, we will explore the relationship between mushrooms and Queerness, adding in a touch of anthropology.
*Things to bring: water, snacks, two foraging bags (one for edibles, one for others/unknowns--paper and cloth are great), and clothing that's comfortable for a jaunt through the woods.
*The walks are rain or shine, barring severe thunderstorms, so please come prepared for the weather! If the tour needs to be cancelled, tickets will be refunded. There may be poison ivy and ticks on these trails, so please keep that in mind when choosing clothing-- and do a tick check at the end!
