CHICKS ONLY!! Mushroom Hunt and (optional) Maitake Taco Dinner

September 25, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 1:30 pm

$55 – $90

Bring your mom, grandma, daughter, sisters, aunties, nieces, girlfriends, or just yourself to this “Chicks Only” day!  Even though no boys are allowed, we will be searching for fungis. We might even find an Old Man of the Woods.  I’ll be bringing some of my best girlfriends in the world… the infamous “Goldies!”  You will meet Annie which can start a fire in a hurricane, Tiffany that can kill a deer with her eyes closed and carry it out of the woods on her back, and Gina that can identify every plant known to (wo)man while biking at 25mph!

In addition to meeting some new amazing women in your life, you will learn the basics of mushroom hunting, gain in-person experience and confidence hunting for common edible mushrooms, and eat a delicious lunch of wild mushroom tacos after the hunt (optional).

10:00-10:30 Discussion
