In autumn, we can find wild edible and medicinal mushrooms, edible plants and medicinal herbs, even delicious wild berries all around us. Come walk, and learn about these seasonal items as well as plants, trees, and mushrooms that can be foraged at other times of the year. Join Rachel Goclawski, a Certified Educator who is state-certified in Mushrooming, who will teach you how to identify the edibles safely, methods of preparation and preservation, nutritional and medicinal value. Bring a camera and/or notebook so you can document our finds, collection bags (paper or cloth), gloves and a knife or shears. Wear comfortable walking shoes or boots as the terrain may be uneven or muddy. We will go off the trail be prepared for mud, rocks, steep areas. Insect repellant and sunscreen recommended.
