Morels and More Foraging Adventure

A fun outdoor adventure for the nature lover interested in gaining confidence and learning tips foraging for their own food. We will discuss foraging basics, safety, tips/tricks, and answer any questions and then wander through the woods looking for mushrooms and edible plants. We hope to see plants like ramps, fiddlehead ferns, stinging nettle, or garlic mustard and pick mushrooms like oysters, morels, velvet foot, pheasant backs or more.  Bring home any mushrooms you find!

Chick of the Woods may offer a light tasting of wild mushrooms that are in season, if available. This is very likely but an email will be sent before the hunt to confirm and see if you’d like to add the tasting, which would be optional. A fee would apply and the tasting would add 1 hour of time after the hunt (ending at 5:30pm).

Disclaimers:

*Please note that mushroom growth is subject to various environmental factors, and their presence during our foraging adventures cannot be guaranteed. We’ll do our best to find good spots, but our goal isn’t just about gathering. It’s about learning so you can forage on your own. We’ll share the exact location and more details about the day with you at least 24 hours before the event.
*We will be walking off-trail and on uneven terrain.
*This is a rain or shine event, but if conditions are severe, the hunt will be cancelled and credit can be used towards a future event.
*The class may be cancelled if minimum attendance is not met. A refund will be provided in this scenario.
*The location may require a parking fee.
*More detailed information about location, what to expect, and what to bring will be shared with attendees at least one day prior the event.
