About us

This group is organized by Fork in the Path for the adventurous of all ages interested in wild food foraging such as mushrooms, plants, seaweed, acorns, sea urchin mussels, and more. Most events are within a 3-hour drive or less from the Bay Area. While our classes are listed on Meetup, all registrations must go through our website, www.forkinthepath.org

Most of our events are family-friendly, and children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

  • Mushroom Foraging in the Sierra Nevada

    Mushroom Foraging in the Sierra Nevada

    Location not specified yet

    **Register here, NOT on Meetup: https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule**

    In the springtime, the mushrooms head to the mountains. Let’s go look for them!

    We will learn about montane ecology, including fungi and plants, while targeting morels and spring porcini.
    This program will teach you foundational skills to be able to go foraging on your own. We will include a cooking demo, cover mushroom anatomy for identification, tree and plant identification, poisonous and edible mushrooms, and forest safety. Find the mythical “fairy fart” mushroom, the gorgeous purple cup fungi, and more! Fun for all ages. 3-5 miles on uneven terrain required.

    Sierra Nevada, California
    All registrations must be completed on our website here

    #### Where

    Exact meetup location is provided one week before your class date. Please note, of all the places where we offer mushroom foraging classes, the mountains are the most variable and hardest to predict. While we can’t guarantee exactly what we’ll find, we want to make our best effort to set you up for success, so, depending on conditions, our May classes will be in either Eldorado or Tahoe National Forest. We will be updating as we have more information on conditions.

    More Important Details
    These programs are very popular and often fill up very quickly. We encourage you to register right away if you'd like to attend! If you are reading this, the class is not full. Space is updated daily.
