What You'll Learn

This experiential hands-on half-day program is all about the fascinating world of fungi and begins at 10:00 am. Learning to forage for mushrooms is an ongoing life path. This program will teach you foundational skills to be able to go out foraging on your own. We will cover mushroom anatomy for identification, symbiotic tree and plant relationships, poisonous and edible mushrooms, and forest safety. This winter, it will be possible to find edibles such as porcini, chanterelle, blewits, oysters, lions mane and more. The program also includes community building, mindful movement, a cooking demo, and a tasting at the end.
