SUMMARY:Mushroom Hunt and Plant Foraging with optional Crawfish Boil and Live Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Me’morel weekend for springtime foraging\, cajun food\, and live music at beautiful Big Rock Creek! This beginner-friendly class is perfect for those new to foraging or even anyone more experienced\, but looking to forage in a beautiful\, private area and hang out with like-minded individuals that love and appreciate nature. Together\, we’ll learn all about foraging safely for common\, edible mushrooms and plants. \nWhat to Expect\n\nInteractive Education: Start with an engaging presentation discussing everything you need to know to get started foraging.

Mushroom  and plant growth varies with the environment\, so we can never guarantee what or how much variety will be found – but we will be hunting in an area that has been known to produce mushrooms and tasty edible plants.  We will also be identifying important trees along the way.\nPotential Finds: Spring mushrooms like oysters\, morels\, pheasant back\, velvet foot\, and edible plants like nettle\, ramps\, fiddleheads\, watercress\, and more! Unlike public land\, we will be able to harvest edible plants we find!\nCommunity and Sharing: Bring home any mushrooms or plants we find! If we find enough\, we’ll divide them evenly to ensure everyone leaves with a treat.\nCrawfish Boil and Live Music: Totally optional\, but if you’re up for relaxing\, eating\, and chatting a bit after our forage\, bring some extra money for food and drinks. This event is organized by Big Rock Creek and will be fun for the whole family! Beside food and music\, there will be cocktails\, face painting\, bounce houses\, animals to pet\, and more!  Read more about the event on their website.
