We'll spend time reviewing basic foraging etiquette and teach students how to use The Peterson's Field Guides to Mushrooms of North America. We'll set off on a 2-3 hour exploration of the woods where mushrooms will be identified and collected. Students will learn techniques and skills to build confidence in mushroom identification for future solo foraging adventures. This program is more technical than our other classes and isn't intended for small children.
