Spring Mushroom Forage
Tuition: $150 |
Spring is here and the forest is sure to be bursting with renewed life! Spend the day learning about mushrooms. More info...
Students will explore the variety of edible and intriguing organisms the forest has to offer. The class will introduce students to the interconnected ecology of fungal life, mushroom anatomy and ID guidelines, foraging techniques and etiquette, as well as home cooking/preservation methods. This class will also be focused on hunting for some prized edibles- spring kings and morel mushrooms! Though we can’t guarantee you’ll go home with a full basket, we can promise this workshop will give you a new appreciation for wild foraged foods!
All spring forages will be within a 1.5hr drive of Hood River, OR. The exact meeting location will not be determined until 5 days prior to your forage. Students will be notified of the meeting location by the Monday prior to the workshop date.
