Forest Foray with Sarah Foltz Jordan

This fully outdoor intensive will invite you to practice and expand your mushroom ID skills, while also taking the time to simply look more closely at mushrooms in their forest homes. As we wander through diverse deciduous forests of the driftless region, we will discuss the edibility and critical identification features of the mushrooms we encounter, along with some of the more subtle aspects of their morphology and biology, such as smells and tree associations.

Throughout the day, we will be working collectively to gather and identify the specimens for the mushroom display table at the conference. As with any mushroom adventure, we don’t know what we’ll find--- the only certainty is that there will be much to marvel at.  Bring your favorite mushroom ID books, basket, a notebook, camera, and drawing supplies if you’d like. Bagged lunches will be provided but please bring your own snacks and beverages for the day.
