Weekend Wander – Mushroom Forgaging 101

Ever walked through the woods and thought, “Is that edible… or deadly?” Time to find out — safely, of course.

Step off the beaten path and into the forest for a hands-on mushroom foraging experience on the Eastside. Led by expert foragers from Forage Seattle, you’ll learn to spot common wild edible mushrooms, tell the tasty from the toxic, and get plenty of tips to start your own foraging adventures.

The ultimate blend of nature, knowledge, and nosh - perfect whether you're a fungi fanatic or a curious first-timer (even kids!). Expect a relaxed, informative afternoon in the woods with a few fellow Aussies and Kiwis. Gumboots optional, curiosity essential.
