Fall Mushroom Walk

On this, our second mushroom hunting walk, we will search the grounds for wild mushrooms and discuss the basics of identification, their properties, uses and ecology. The focus will be on common edibles of New England. Sustainable practices of wild mushroom harvesting will also be discussed.

Please dress for the weather - we will be outdoors. You may also want to bring a notebook & pen, and a camera!

COST: $15-30 sliding scale. A nonrefundable $10 deposit will hold your place (If we cancel/reschedule the class we would refund your deposit - not for any other reason). The rest of the fee is due at the event - please bring cash or check!

The walk will be led by, Dave, who is an outdoor enthusiast, forager of wild foods, and proponent of Wildlife Conservation and the sustainable use of our lands. He was introduced to the fascinating world of mushrooms several years ago during his permaculture design certification coursework and has since enjoyed wild mushroom hunting throughout the seasons.

We are pleased to hold this at Tuckaway Farm, a three generation family farm "tucked away" along the Oyster River, which has farmed organically for over 50 years. Tuckaway's ongoing mission is to support a regenerative energy and food system by providing diverse agricultural products and by practicing agriculture that builds soil, habitat, and community.
