SUMMARY:Morels and More Weeknight Foraging
DESCRIPTION:Join Chick of the Woods for an evening of foraging fun on private land in Prior Lake\, just 30 minutes south of downtown Minneapolis. Expect a fabulous evening meeting like-minded people and foraging for edible plants and mushrooms. \nWe will begin the evening by discussing edible species of mushrooms and plants that are common in springtime including their look-alikes\, foraging basics\, safety\, tools\, technology\, and answer any questions you may have. \nAfter the discussion\, we will head into the woods looking for and picking edible mushrooms and plants. Please note that while harvesting plants is NOT allowed on public land\, this is private land so we ARE able to harvest plants\, too! (Mushrooms are harvestable on certain public lands.) \nOnce we get back from the woods\, Chick of the Woods will go over what you found to make sure everything you have is safe. We will also have a recap and discuss any new species we didn’t talk about during the presentation. You will be able to take home any mushrooms or plants that we harvest\, but to avoid any sense of competition\, we will be splitting our finds evenly throughout the group. \nDisclaimers:\n*Please note that mushroom growth is subject to various environmental factors\, and their presence during our foraging adventures cannot be guaranteed. We 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.\n*We will be walking off-trail and on uneven terrain.\n*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.

DESCRIPTION:Learn to identify and forage safely for common\, edible summer mushrooms with Chick of the Woods. The class will begin with an educational discussion about mushrooms and foraging followed by a walk in the woods searching for mushrooms. We will end our time together with a light tasting of wild\, summer mushrooms. Feel free to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy while Chick of the Woods cooks up the mushroom tasting\, whether you choose the tasting option or not. \nApproximate Itinerary:\n9:30-10:30 – Educational Talk\n10:30-1:00pm – Woodland Walk\n1:00pm-2:00pm – Light Tasting and (bring your own) picnic lunch \nWe will focus our learning on mushrooms\, but we will also point out other edible plants\, nuts\, trees\, and berries we find along our journey. \nExpect to have a relaxing day walking slowly through the woods and meeting new friends. It will not be difficult walking\, but it will be uneven and we will be walking in the woods for up to 2.5 hours. \nThis is a learning adventure and not a competition\, so we will split any finds evenly with the group. \nExact location and more details will be emailed to attendees at least 24 hours prior to event. \n*Parking fee may apply.\n*We are not allowed to harvest plants\, but we can harvest mushrooms\, nuts\, and berries.\n*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.\n*The location may require a parking fee.\n*If you have any food restrictions\, please email us to see if we can accommodate before signing up. The tasting may include gluten and/or dairy\, but will be vegetarian.\n*We will be walking off-trail and on uneven terrain.\n*We are never guaranteed to find mushrooms although we will do our best to find a spot that has some.

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.
