Foraging

While our ancestors knew how to forage for mushrooms in the wilderness, today it is a lost art. If you are interested in learning we suggest choosing to learn about a few mushrooms at a time to start your knowledge base. We encourage you to join a knowledgeable forager or mycology group that will take you on a tour of the woods where you can collect and learn to identify mushrooms. Mushroom forays are a great way to get exercise and learn about the wonderful ways that mushrooms help to add nutrients to the earth. 

 

If you would like to gain some knowledge to know what to look for before you go out in a group here is a great book:
