Me’Morel Day Mushroom Hunt

This beginner-friendly class is perfect for those new to foraging or anyone looking to hang out with like-minded individuals that love and appreciate nature. 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, and more! While we will focus our hunt on mushrooms, we will point out 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.
