Education & Foraging Lessons

The season isn't "over", the mushrooms are just changing. There is a huge group of highly desirable mushrooms that continue to grow after porcini and chanterelles go to sleep.

I've spent the last 5 years learning these mushrooms and would love to teach you about them. It is entirely possible to come home with a huge basket of delicious treats into February.

In many ways, it's my favorite time of the year. No one else is out there and no one else harvests them because most fly under people's radar.

They start around Thanksgiving and last into the new year. I intend to book appointments from now until Christmas. A lot of what you'll learn translates to the mountains and learning these mushrooms can be critical to your survival.

I can also teach you how to stay alive long enough for rescue teams to reach you, how to stay safe from local wildlife, and how to protect yourself from the sea.

A bulk of these mushrooms grow in our manufactured coastal parks here in Oregon. It is very light and easy hiking. 

My rate is $50/hr + $25/hr per additional person. We should be able to wrap up within two hours. I don't charge for travel time or water breaks - just the time we spend on trail.
