Foraging Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms

This day-long class helps to build the basic knowledge needed to identify common

mushrooms and to begin a lifetime of of wild mushrooming. The class will combine

indoor lecture and outdoor experience in the forest to explore identification features,

ecology and the seasonal occurrence of mushrooms. We will look at edible as well as

common poisonous mushrooms and may end the day by cooking some of the mushrooms

we find.
