Four days of diving into the world of mushrooms, lichen and other fungal identification. This weekend goes beyond common edibles but rather is a training to acquire the confidence it takes to really start identifying mushrooms and other fungi for varied use and survival.
Smugtown Mushrooms is beyond excited and honored to bring two amazing and immensely knowledgeable foragers & mushroom identifiers! We welcome both Leah Bendlin also known as Leah Mycelia & Rachel Zoller aka Yellow Elanor.
We will be a the glorious glacier-carved gorge of Chautauqua Creek and within hundreds of acres of forest and diverse habitat.
No prior knowledge needed however we ask folks who register to give us a brief concept on their ID skills to better craft the week based on everyones needs and fungal history.
Meals and camping as on-site are included – We cater to all dietary needs
Small motorized campers are welcome, please notify us if you plan to bring yours
Families welcome! Rachel Zoller will be leading a day of child-friendly foraging. This specific day is available to register separately from the full weekend.
Family Forage: Come explore the world of mushrooms on this family friendly mushroom foraging experience. We will walk at a little slower pace and talk about safe foraging practices with kids. Adults and children alike will learn about mushroom identification and spend lots of time time finding, touching, observing and collecting mushrooms. This is a great way to introduce kids and families to safe foraging practices and enjoy a day learning together outdoors. All ages welcome. Light snacks and refreshments provided.
