SUMMARY:Morel Mushroom Hunting - Indoor Class
DESCRIPTION:Is this the year you’d like to find your first morel mushroom? Or maybe you’ve found them before\, but would like some pointers on how to find them faster? Although they are not that easy to find\, there are plenty of tips and tricks that will greatly improve your chances of finding them! This class will leave you confident and prepared to find and identify morels right before the season begins with just enough time to start scouting out good spots to hunt. \nThis will be a fun class in a private room at Schram Haus Brewery where you can enjoy a beer\, seltzer\, or non-alcoholic beverage and tasty food while you learn. The class will last about 2.5-3 hours including a short walk outdoors to do some tree identification\, which is important for finding morels. We will cover everything you need to know including where to look\, when to look\, identification\, look-alikes\, foraging basics\, safety\, cooking\, technology\, preservation methods\, tree identification\, and tips and tricks. \nJust to be extra clear\, we are not actually mushroom hunting. We will learning indoors and only going outdoors for tree identification purposes. \nIf you don’t already\, make sure to follow Chick of the Woods on Facebook or Instagram. \n  \n

SUMMARY:End of Summer Foraging with Light Tasting
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.
