Aren't fungi magnificent? Not only are (some) of them delicious to eat, many fungi even possess the power to heal. And although they have existed on our earth for millions of years, there still remain many mysteries of how these incredible organisms thrive. How often have you stopped to observe and identify them? Luckily, we are fortunate enough to live and play on some of the most fungi-rich lands in the world.
Come join us for this special foraging foray as we focus on mushroom identification in our local forests. How do we find porcini mushrooms? Where do chanterelles like to grow? How do you identify wild oysters? We're taking you for an easy forest walking trip guided by our expert pals at Swallow Tail Tours! Grab a rain coat and a pal for this incredible workshop!
Note: This is not a live cooking class or a harvesting trip. The workshop will study edible mushrooms in their habitat and discuss ethical and sustainable harvesting.
