Event Overview:

During this slow meander through the woods, participants learn the key tree species in the PNW and why those are important for identifying and finding fungi. Led by Ryan Johnson, we’ll learn the roles fungi play in the ecosystem and how to distinguish different mushrooms with field guides and spore prints while identifying species we find along the walk. This class is great for beginners hoping to dive into the world of fungi and foraging along with plant identification.
