About the Event
The class is full and registration is closed--sorry to be so mean.
Several other wild edibles foraging classes are still open that might be of interest to you.
Thanks for your interest in our classes!
Join us for a guided one-mile hike, where you'll explore the fascinating realm of fungi hiding in plain sight. Along the way, you'll learn the basics of mushroom biology, how fungi sustain and heal ecosystems, and how to identify various species. We'll also cover ethical foraging practices, including the principles of the Honorable Harvest, Leave No Trace, animism, and local laws.
This experience is a chance to slow down, connect with the rhythms of the forest, and deepen your relationship with nature. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned nature lover, all are welcome to discover the wonder beneath our feet.
