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:Fall Mushroom Foraging
DESCRIPTION:Join Chick of the Woods for a day of foraging fun just 10 minutes south of Minneapolis. Foraging is not normally allowed in this park\, but we will be allowed special permission to pick mushrooms for this event! \nWe will begin with hands-on learning\, looking at samples of common\, edible fall mushrooms.

This will be a beginner level class and no experience is necessary. It is not guaranteed we will find any mushrooms\, but we will learn “how” to find and identify common fall mushrooms and the trees associated with those mushrooms. If we do find mushrooms\, we will split any mushrooms we find with the group. \nEvent will happen rain or shine. In cases of severe weather or unforeseen circumstances\, class will be cancelled and credit will be given for a future class. \nTickets must be purchased through Wood Lake Nature Center at this link.

SUMMARY:Fall Foraging
DESCRIPTION:This is an outdoor adventure geared towards the beginner forager interested in becoming confident foraging common fall mushrooms\, but this will also be fun for more experienced foragers looking to learn a couple new mushrooms and meet new\, like-minded people. \nWe will  begin with a discussion on foraging basics\, safety\, tips/tricks to successful foraging\, species of interest\, and answer any questions. A walk in the woods will follow\, looking for and discussing any mushrooms or any other edible species that we find. This will be slow-paced\, walking off-trail and over uneven terrain for approximately 2 hours. After the hunt\, we will meet back where we started to review what we found. \nThe exact location will emailed to attendees at least 24 hours before the event. We like to wait until the week of the event to decide on a location so we can choose an area that has better conditions for mushrooms (more rain). \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.

SUMMARY:Fall Foraging\, Optional Tasting
DESCRIPTION:This is an outdoor adventure for the beginner forager interested in becoming confident foraging common fall mushrooms and other wild edibles.  We will first take about one hour for intros and to discuss foraging basics\, safety\, tips/tricks to successful foraging\, cover species of interest\, and answer any questions.  Then we will wander down the trail and into the woods looking for and discussing any mushrooms or edible plants that we find.    If we do find mushrooms\, we will split them evenly with the group. We will then meet back where we started to wrap up and go over what we found.  Foraging and identifications will last approximately two hours.  **Please note we will not be picking any plants since it is not allowed in the area we will go\, but if we find some\, we can observe and identify!**  \nAfter we are done foraging\, those that have purchased the tasting option will include a brief cooking demo and be served a light tasting of seasonal mushrooms.  This may include gluten and dairy\, but will be vegetarian. If you did not purchase the tasting option\, feel free to hang out as long as you wish. Everyone is encouraged to bring a bag lunch to eat in addition to the light tasting. \nApproximate Itinerary:\n1-2pm: Intro and Discussion\n2-4pm: Foraging and Identifications\n4-5pm: Cooking and Tasting \nPlease do not sign up for this class if you expect to find hoards of mushrooms and berries. It’s possible we will find a large patch\, but that is not the purpose of this adventure. We always hope to find some\, but that is never guaranteed. We are here to learn and if we do come up empty handed\, we do guarantee you will learn enough to increase your confidence and chance of finding mushrooms and berries at another time!  \nThe exact location of the event will emailed to attendees at least 24 hours before the event. \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.

Mastering your tree identification skill is useful for many reasons\, but our favorite reason is to improve your ability to find mushrooms.  And when you don’t need to look up at the leaves to identify a tree\, it makes your mushroom mission much easier. \nWe will focus on identifying native trees found in this area and when applicable\, discuss which choice edible mushrooms are associated with that tree. Trees we will learn about on this walk include elm\, oak\, aspen\, hackberry\, ironwood\, ash\, box elder\, cottonwood\, and black cherry. What if you want to know what the leaves look like? We will be able to find leaves on the ground that match the tree. \nThis will be a slow walk through the woods at a local park\, staying on trail\, and stopping to discuss trees along the way. The walk will be about 1 mile long and last about 1.5 hours. \nEvent will be held rain\, snow or shine\, but will be cancelled for severe weather (credit will be given for a future event).  Exact location will be emailed to attendees at least 24 hours before the event.

SUMMARY:Easy-Peasy Foraging with Optional Tasting
DESCRIPTION:This event is intended for anyone that would like to learn about hunting for mushrooms and other wild edibles\, but isn’t able to\, or doesn’t want to\, tromp through the deep woods for hours.  There is plenty to see right from the trail! We will stick to a trail that is relatively flat and easy walking which may be a combination of dirt or paved trails.  You must be able to walk slowly for up to 1 hour. \nWe will first spend time discussing the art of foraging before heading to the trail.  Then\, we will look for mushrooms and other edible plants and berries along the trail\, but focus more on learning how to find and identify trees and habitat that are good for mushrooms.  At the end of our stroll\, we will taste some delicious wild mushrooms while learning more about nature and your new friends.  Feel free to bring some food\, snacks\, or beverages to enjoy during the tasting. \nApproximate Itinerary:\n1-1:30: Discussion about Foraging\n1:30-2:30:  Stroll along the Trail\n2:30-3:30:  Wild Mushroom Tasting and Social Hour

SUMMARY:Morels and More - Spring Foraging Adventure
DESCRIPTION:This is the perfect workshop for the beginner forager interested in learning how to hunt for morel mushrooms.  We will first discuss foraging basics and tips and tricks to finding morel mushrooms.  Then we will wander into the woods looking for morels while stopping to point out other tasty spring edibles along the way. \nMorels are not the easiest mushroom to find and there is a lot of competition out there.  It is not guaranteed we will find morel mushrooms.  However\, if we don’t find any\, you will have had a great walk in nature and learned how to increase your chances of finding them at a later date. \nThe exact location will be disclosed in an email at least 24 hours before the event\, but this event will take place somewhere in the SW Metro region of the Twin Cities. \n
