SUMMARY:Tree Identification Workshop
DESCRIPTION:*This class will be a combination of indoors and outdoors and does not require any prior tree identification knowledge.* \nLearn how to identify Minnesota trees during the most gorgeous time of year! Tree shape\, coloring\, bark patterns\, habitat\, leaves\, and twigs all help conclude what kind of tree we are looking at. Mastering your tree identification skill is useful for many reasons\, but our favorite reason is to improve your ability to find mushrooms.  We will learn to identify native trees found in the twin cities metropolitan area\, and focus on those that have prime edible mushrooms associated with them. \nWe will begin by meeting indoors for about an hour to discuss tree types and features that will help differentiate one from another.  The presentation will include the basics of tree features and identification of the elm\, oak\, cottonwood\, ash\, and box elder and the mushrooms that are associated with those trees. However\, we will identify many other trees along our walk. After the discussion\, we will take a slow walk through the woods\, staying on trail\, and stopping to discuss trees along the way. The walk will be about 1 mile long and last 1 – 1.5 hours. \nTree Identification scroll and handouts will be included. \n \nFood and drink will be available for purchase from Mill Valley Market (located inside the Trailhead building) during the presentation. \nEvent will be held rain or shine\, but will be postponed for severe weather. Credit will be given for a future event if cancellation is needed.

SUMMARY:Summer Tree ID Workshop
DESCRIPTION:*This class will be a combination of indoors and outdoors and does not require any prior tree identification knowledge.* \nLearn how to identify Minnesota trees! Tree shape\, coloring\, bark patterns\, habitat\, leaves\, and twigs all help conclude what kind of tree we are looking at. Mastering your tree identification skill is useful for many reasons\, but our favorite reason is to improve your ability to find mushrooms.  We will learn to identify native trees found in the twin cities metropolitan area\, and focus on those that have prime edible mushrooms associated with them. \nWe will begin by meeting indoors for about an hour to discuss tree types and features that will help differentiate one from another.  The presentation will include the basics of tree features and identification of the elm\, oak\, cottonwood\, ash\, and box elder and the mushrooms that are associated with those trees. However\, we will identify many other trees along our walk. After the discussion\, we will take a slow walk through the woods\, staying on trail\, and stopping to discuss trees along the way. The walk will be about 1 mile long and last 1 – 1.5 hours. \nTree Identification scroll will be included with ticket. \n \nFood and drink will be available for purchase from Mill Valley Market (located inside the Trailhead building) during the presentation. \nEvent will be held rain or shine\, but will be postponed for severe weather. Credit will be given for a future event if cancellation is needed.

SUMMARY:Springtime Wild Mushroom Identification Workshop and Tasting - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:This is a workshop for the beginner mushroom forager interested in gaining confidence identifying common\, springtime mushrooms. \nWe will start the day indoors with a presentation discussing identification of the common\, edible springtime mushrooms\, including oysters\, pheasant backs\, and morels. We will also discuss foraging basics\, safety\, tips/tricks to successful foraging\, and answer any questions. \nAfter the presentation\, we will have a light tasting of springtime mushrooms which includes a brief cooking demo. The mushrooms may be cooked in butter and served with bread and cheese. I’m sorry but there are no substitutions besides removing the bread and/or cheese. \nAfter the presentation and tasting\, we will wander down the trail and into the woods looking for and discussing any mushrooms we see along the way\, which will last approximately 1-1.5 hours.  We will also focus some time on tree identification.  Theodore Wirth Park unfortunately does not allow foraging\, so we can’t pick mushrooms but we can certainly take pictures and memories!  \nThe event is non-refundable and the class will happen rain or shine\, but in cases of severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances\, you will be able to use your credit for a future event.
