Education & Foraging Lessons

I am now booking foraging lessons for the Central Valley and West/Northwest Oregon Coast Range.

I will be teaching urban foraging, coastal foraging and foraging in our mixed alder and fir forests. These are 2-3 hour excursions of 1-on-1 instruction. I will be helping you narrow down habitats to help maximize hauls of some of your favorite mushrooms.

If you are brand new to foraging and don't have specific mushrooms in mind (chanterelles, chicken of the woods, porcini, etc) I can help you locate a park near your home that you can master and call your own. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the different waves of mushrooms we get and when, and how to identify the different types of trees they grow on and habitats they grow in.

You will learn what mushrooms grow wild here in Oregon, how to prepare them, and how to store them. I can educate you on poisonous lookalikes so you can safely impress your family & friends.

Classes are held in very public, very safe parks frequented by city and state workers.

This is a great skill for fishermen, chefs, outdoorsy types, retirees and is a great way for couples to safely spend some time in the woods together. You'll walk away with an understanding of different waves of mushrooms as we transition from summer to fall and fall into winter.

I charge $40/hr and $20/hr for each additional person. A deposit is required to reserve your appointment.

This is not necessarily physically demanding and I'm happy to accommodate all body types, activity levels and disabilities. I have a very mobility-friendly module for urban foraging and can help virtually everyone enjoy this hobby. Please do not be shy about reaching out if you have any questions - we are all built different and we are all at different stages in life and I am happy to embrace that and help you.

You'll receive a thorough summary of the day's lessons via email when we are done, so you can focus on enjoying yourself while we are out.

Please reach out at the email below if you have any questions. Thank you very much for your interest!
