Join us for the final class in our mushroom education series that began in June! This Mushroom Identification class is designed to help you build confidence in recognizing common fungi in their natural habitat while deepening your understanding of mushroom characteristics, seasonal patterns, and safe foraging practices.
Because collecting plants or fungi is not permitted in Forest Park, this class focuses on education and observation—learning how to identify mushrooms in a wild setting without harvesting. You’ll gain practical skills and tips you can apply when exploring and foraging outside of Forest Park on your own.
Come ready to learn, observe, and enjoy the fascinating world of fungi!
