Join mushroom maestro Justin Garner as we explore the strange and wonderful diversity of mushrooms home to our region. During each outing, we will spend time in the field looking for and collecting mushrooms. Then we’ll gather around to admire and learn about the harvest. If good edibles are available, we will prepare some to sample! Justin has a long-standing interest in fungi, and has studied botany and plant chemistry. He teaches about the nourishing, medicinal, and toxic properties of fungi.
This course includes:
- Mushroom identification skills
- Ethical and safe foraging practices
- Knowledge of key edible and medicinal species
- Time in the woods exploring and collecting
- Prep and sampling in the kitchen
Bring your curiosity, your field notebook, and your sense of wonder!
