Red Barn at Wenatchee River Institute: Fall Fungi Field Trip with Puget Sound Mycological Society

Join Wenatchee River Institute and Puget Sound Mycological Society for the Fall Fungi Field Trip! *If you are already a member of Puget Sound Mycological Society, you do NOT need to register. By registering through WRI you will have a chance to go out with more experienced foragers, potentially including guided trips.

Please be sure to read any email updates closely to ensure you know how to sign up for guided trips. All foragers will have the chance to gather and learn about their discoveries from expert identifiers back at the Red Barn after field sessions.

The day will begin at the Wenatchee River Institute with a meeting to set the scene and provide a safety briefing. PSMS guides will take groups of people out to different locations for fungi foraging and collection.

There is no guarantee you’ll find good edible mushrooms, but you will learn the basics of foraging and get an idea of habitats to explore in the future. The guided trips will be out foraging for about 3-4 hours.

Groups will return to WRI to have their mushrooms identified. We’ll close the day out with a group potluck!

Note that the forage may include walking on uneven ground. Limit: 30 WRI participants *Required gear list and schedule will be emailed closer to the event date.
