Fall Mushroom Foraging (La Crosse) || with Andi Reisdorf

In this beginner-friendly mushroom foraging class, we'll explore the autumn woods together in search of edible and medicinal mushrooms. We'll discuss mushroom identification techniques, helpful tools, and practical foraging tips. We'll be on the hunt for fall mushrooms like hen of the woods/ maitake, honey mushrooms, lion's mane, lobster mushrooms, chicken of the woods, shaggy manes, hedgehog mushrooms, puffball mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and more! Come prepared for off-trail hiking and traversing uneven terrain. As with any foraging class, the abundance and variety of mushrooms we find in the woods is entirely up to mother nature!
