Last Minute Foraging Adventure

All this recent rain has been phenomenal for growing fungi! Join Chick of the Woods and find what food this rain has brought us. We will be foraging for common, summertime edible mushrooms and berries. Before we head out foraging, we will discuss foraging basics, safety, identifications, and answer any questions.  Then we will wander into the woods looking for, discussing, and picking edible mushrooms and berries that we find. After the hunt we will review what’s in your basket and discuss ways to cook your finds. Take home what you harvest! No experience necessary.
