About this Event
We will be foraging for mushrooms, and occasional lichens and plants, in the Asheville area. Some will be edible, some medicinal, and some just pretty to look at! A great intro course to the mushrooms of WNC.
The tours will be within 35 or so minutes of Asheville, generally at Rice Pinnacle Trailhead in Bent Creek. If needed, a change in location for the tours will be announced 5-7 days before.
A carpool is potentially available based on need; please feel free to reach out for details!
*Things to bring: water, snacks, two foraging bags (one for edibles, one for others/unknowns--paper and cloth are great), and clothing that's comfortable for a jaunt through the woods.
*The walks are rain or shine, barring severe thunderstorms, so please come prepared for the weather! There may be poison ivy and ticks on these trails, so please keep that in mind when choosing clothing-- and do a tick check if you can!
~Saturday, October 4th will be a Queer-Friendly, Spooky Mushroom Tour. Please come in costume and be prepared for some siliness! Location will be announced in late September.
Can't wait to see you there among the mushrooms!
