Fun with Fungi – Kids Event

Get your kids excited about mushrooms and the outdoors this summer! We will discuss safety and learn all about mushrooms, go for a mushroom scavenger hunt, and learn how to make mushroom art. This class will take place outdoors, rain or shine, but will be cancelled for severe weather. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The class fee includes one adult and one child. Additional family members may register for an additional fee. The foraging location will be determined and emailed to you two days prior to class due to variation in growing conditions that affect mushroom availability. The location will be within 20 minutes of Shakopee, and you will be walking on uneven terrain, so please dress accordingly. Bring a basket or bag, a pocket knife, and sun and/or bug protection if you wish to use it. There is no guarantee we will find mushrooms, but we will have samples to show if that happens. You can bring home any mushrooms you find! Handouts will be provided to assist you in future foraging.

This class is offered through Shakopee Community Education and you can purchase tickets ($36) through this link.
