End of Summer Foraging with Light Tasting

Learn to identify and forage safely for common, edible summer mushrooms with Chick of the Woods. The class will begin with an educational discussion about mushrooms and foraging followed by a walk in the woods searching for mushrooms. We will end our time together with a light tasting of wild, summer mushrooms. Feel free to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy while Chick of the Woods cooks up the mushroom tasting, whether you choose the tasting option or not.

Approximate Itinerary:
9:30-10:30 – Educational Talk
10:30-1:00pm – Woodland Walk
1:00pm-2:00pm – Light Tasting and (bring your own) picnic lunch

We will focus our learning on mushrooms, but we will also point out other edible plants, nuts, trees, and berries we find along our journey.

Expect to have a relaxing day walking slowly through the woods and meeting new friends. It will not be difficult walking, but it will be uneven and we will be walking in the woods for up to 2.5 hours.

This is a learning adventure and not a competition, so we will split any finds evenly with the group.

Exact location and more details will be emailed to attendees at least 24 hours prior to event.
