Discover the fascinating world of wild mushrooms in this two-part introductory foraging course. During the first class, held on campus, you'll learn essential mushroom safety, the basics of fungal biology and ecology, and foundational identification skills to help you recognize common species and understand responsible foraging practices. The following day, we'll put those concepts into practice on a guided field foray, where you'll explore a natural habitat alongside experienced mushroom foragers who will help identify and discuss the diverse fungi encountered. The field trip location may require 1-2 hours of driving each way (we always aim for the closest suitable site), and participants should be prepared for moderately uneven or rough terrain. Whether you're curious about mushrooms, interested in nature, or hoping to begin foraging safely, this course offers a hands-on introduction to the incredible diversity of fungi.
