Fall Mushroom Foray – Trout Lake, Washington
About this event
Come experience an enchanting and educational day learning about fall mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest.
We will spend time developing a well rounded understanding of fungi structure, their function in our environment and how to responsibly forage. Focusing both on the identification of edible and inedible mushrooms . This course begins and meets in Trout Lake, Washington, with some ‘classroom time’ (outdoor undercover setting) then we head into the field for hands on observation and identification work.
This is a fall mushroom foray, meaning we will learn about any fall mushrooms we come across, not one particular species alone (but there will be an emphasis on identification for any edible mushrooms we come across that day). Everyone attending class will receive a high-quality safety whistle to use and keep after the foray.
Requirements:
Folks must be willing and able to walk off trail in the woods, in sometimes rugged terrain for this class. We will not be on even ground or on clear paths the entire time and class will happen rain or shine. You will also be required to obtain an online mushroom permit and bring the printed permit with you to class, link for online permit sent in confirmation.
This course is beginner friendly! Bring your curiosity and desire to learn and you’ll be good to go. However, as a ‘prerequisite’, I would like folks to watch the ‘Mushrooms 101’ videos I created in preparation for the event, linked below.
