From chanterelles to morels to chicken of the woods, the Pacific Northwest is a haven for chefs and hobby foragers alike. Join mycophile and chef Nicco Muratore on a mushroom foraging trip as you learn how to identify which mushrooms are edible (and which ones are definitely not!), the best zones to forage and seasons to go, tree identification, and how elevation impacts the hunt. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a forest picnic and discuss how to prepare your foraged feast at home.

* This field trip will likely require driving 1 to 2 hours outside of Seattle. The hiking will be moderate, but ideally not difficult. Wandering around in the woods for mushrooms usually involves slow and steady off trail work, but strenuous hiking will be avoided.
