SUMMARY:Scouting for Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:This is a different version of my normal events. It’s shorter and the price is lower. I’m skipping the intro educational talk and I’m NOT pre-scouting the area. We will be going to a forest I’m not very familiar with. I have no idea what mushrooms will be there or if there will be any at all (extremely unlikely). Just come exploring with me! Learn what I look for when I hunt in a new area. We will spend two hours in the woods looking for common\, edible mushrooms and identifying trees important to those mushrooms. Take home what you find. Bring a basket or bag and a knife. No experience necessary. \nThe exact location of the event will be emailed to attendees at least 24 hours before the event. \nDisclaimers:\n*Mushroom and plant growth is subject to various environmental factors\, and their presence during our foraging adventures cannot be guaranteed.\n*We will be walking off-trail and on uneven terrain.\n*The location may require a parking fee or day pass.\n*The event in geared towards adults\, but if you think your child would enjoy it\, they are welcome at the same rate as adults.\n*The exact location and more details will be shared with you the day prior to the event\, or sooner. \nRefund and Cancellation Policy:\n*If you cancel at least 72 hours prior to the event\, credit will be given towards a future event.  No credit will be given for cancellations within 72 hours of the event.\n*This is a rain or shine event\, but if conditions are severe\, the hunt will be cancelled and credit will be given to use at a future event.\n*Class may be cancelled if minimum attendance is not met. Refunds will be given in this scenario.

SUMMARY:Fall Mushroom Hunting

SUMMARY:Private Mushroom Hunt
DESCRIPTION:We are on a private foraging adventure today. Interested in learning more? \nWe offer private foraging adventures tailored to your interests and location (Minnesota and Wisconsin). While we specialize in wild mushrooms\, we’re also happy to explore edible plants\, berries\, nuts\, and even help with tree identification. These guided experiences are perfect for individuals or groups—whether you have your own land and want to learn what’s edible right in your backyard\, or you’re looking to gather a group of curious friends for an off-site foraging outing. We’ve hosted private hunts for a wide range of groups\, including corporate outings for companies like Best Buy\, schools such as Hennepin Technical College\, homeschool kids\, senior groups\, bachelorette parties\, and family get-togethers. \nYou can choose the location\, or we’re happy to suggest one. After the forage\, we can prepare a wild mushroom tasting using what we find\, or bring along a curated selection of mushrooms to cook on-site. You’ll also get to take home everything we gather. \nPricing starts at $300 for a 3-hour session\, and you can use the custom spreadsheet we created (best viewed on a computer) to estimate the cost of your own personalized adventure.  Message us at in**@*************ds.com to schedule a phone call and chat about your land\, your goals\, and what kind of foraging experience you’re looking for.
