Labor Day Mushroom Hunt and Tasting

Rain has blessed the earth after a dry summer and mushrooms have been waiting to show their fleshy faces.  Fall brings the largest variety and abundance of mushrooms, so let’s get out and see what we can find!   Learn the basics of mushroom hunting, gain in-person experience and confidence hunting for common edible mushrooms, and taste some delicious wild fall mushrooms after the hunt (optional).  Feel free to bring food and beverage of choice to enjoy with your new friends while you admire your bounty and Chick of the Woods cooks you up some wild, tasty shrooms!

Exact location of the hunt will be emailed to attendees by 4pm one day prior to the hunt, but will be located within an hour south of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
