We will be foraging for mushrooms, and occasional lichens and plants, in the Asheville area. Some will be edible, some medicinal, and some just pretty to look at! A great intro course to the mushrooms of WNC.
This spooky tour will be meeting at the Whole Foods on Merrimon for carpool and caravan, at 3:30pm. The location is in Canton (~30 minutes from Asheville) but not on google maps.
*Things to bring: water, snacks, two foraging bags (one for edibles, one for others/unknowns--paper and cloth are great), and clothing that's comfortable for a jaunt through the woods.
*The walks are rain or shine, barring severe thunderstorms, so please come prepared for the weather! There may be poison ivy and ticks on these trails, so please keep that in mind when choosing clothing-- and do a tick check if you can!
~Saturday, October 4th will be a Queer-Friendly, Spooky Mushroom Tour. Please come in costume and be prepared for some siliness!
Can't wait to see you there among the mushrooms!
