Mushroom hunting

It's been a rainy June and the mushrooms are loving it. Let's head into the forest to find and identify mushrooms.

Let's meet at the last parking lot in Afton State Park by the trailhead L, at the picnic grounds. At 10:05am, we will hike down the trail and eventually off trail, into some of the woods and the floodplain.

Bring your field guides, phones, knowledge and whatever else you want to for identification. I am by no means an expert, just an organizer, and we will all be learning from each other. Feel free to forage within the rules of the park. You are yourself responsible for knowing foraging laws and identifying anything you choose to collect or consume.

It's recommended to wear hiking boots, pants, and bug spray. There are a lot of mosquitos in the woods.

If you sign up, please plan to attend and arrive on time. Will cancel if there is severe weather. See ya there!
