Hunting Fall Mushrooms

April showers bring May flowers, but autumn rains bring mushrooms- and with a little cooperation from the weather we should be able to find a variety of mushrooms, including coral shelf, and jelly fungi! Join us on an active outdoor hide and seek adventure as we hike in the mountains to search under trees and logs for fungi treasure that you can then take home and use to make healthy delicious meal! If the weather cooperates, we should be able to find a variety of mushrooms and sac fungi, including morels, false morels, and cup fungi. This course, which emphasizes the diversity of mushrooms and other fungi that occur in our area, begins with an orientation which takes approximately an hour and includes a slide show. Bring a sack lunch, appropriate field clothing, and collecting gear (bucket or basket, wax paper or paper bags, and knife). We will caravan to the site- please be prepared to drive at least 60 miles round trip 

18 and up only!

*This class is subject to cancelation if conditions are too dry for fall mushrooms.
