Intermediate Mushroom Foraging

Those who completed beginner mushroom foraging classes at The Farms or have experience in identification can continue their journey at Intermediate Mushroom Foraging on Saturdays, Aug. 9, 16 & 23 from 9 to 11 a.m. outdoors (rain or shine). Meet at the Greenhouse Cafè Patio (in case of rain meet inside the Visitor Center).

Instructor Lee Schuler will lead two-hour hikes to find, collect and come together to identify mushrooms from the property. Classes will also cover environmental and growth habit, morphology, and edibility for each species that is found. The class will also log every species found to begin a wild fungi survey for Allerton.

$120 for the entire series or $50/class. Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/intermediate-mushroom-foraging/ by Aug. 6 or three days prior to subsequent classes. All sales are final.

PLEASE NOTE: Foraging at Allerton is not allowed except as part of this Farms class.
