Finding and Harvesting Edible Mushrooms Workshop

Sunday November 8, 10am-4pm.

Join eagle-eyed mushroom enthusiast Josiah Legler and learn
where and when to look for edible mushrooms, how to get a collecting permit and
where you need it, how to use a field guide to identify edibles, and how to
harvest mushrooms using low-impact, sustainable methods. The class will meet at
the Arboretum, then carpool to a mushrooming location about 45 minutes away.
Dress for a walk in the woods and bring a mushroom guidebook (some will be
available for sale), and a lunch. This class will prepare you to find and
harvest mushrooms on your own, but we will respect the forest on the day of the
workshop by not collecting mushrooms with a large group. Call 747-1504 to sign
up or for more information.  Fee:
$25 (MPA members/$20).

Reservations required.
