Guided Mushroom Hike

Join us for a FREE guided mushroom hike with Wildwise Botanicals on Monday June 23rd, 1 - 4 pm.
Mike Snyder of WildWise Botanicals is a myco-educator, citizen scientist, and mycologist from south-central Missouri. He's a dedicated teacher of all things mycological and stays busy introducing communities to ways they can improve their lives with mushrooms. What started 15 years ago as a hobby soon became a passion, and for the past several years he's been offering mushroom walks, classes and workshops, speaking to groups large and small, and working to advance the scientific understanding of Missouri's mushrooms. Mike has grown into one of the Midwest's most trusted experts in the field and is soon to be a published author with the upcoming Foraging Mushrooms of the Ozarks, a Falcon Guide.

Mike will lead us on a guided hike into the forest to explore the fungal diversity of the region. Our Ozark forest ecosystems are home to many incredible fungi, and the variety of terrain in the park means we're likely to encounter some interesting species to discuss. We will talk about foraging mushrooms, but we'll also touch on ecological interactions, identification tips, preparation in the kitchen, medicinal qualities, and much more!

We hope you can join us for this fun and informative afternoon in the woods!
