Morel Mania

About This Event

May is morel month in Minnesota! Learn all about this highly prized and elusive mushroom with Maria Wesserle and Four Season Foraging. The first tip is free: take time off work and go out on a weekday to beat the crowds! Though finding mushrooms is never guaranteed, we will spend a large portion of the workshop learning about and looking for morels—and hopefully harvesting some! Other plants and mushrooms we may encounter include wood nettle, Virginia waterleaf, oysters, pheasant back, and more. (We won’t be able to harvest greens and roots, but we can learn about them!)

This class will require a lot of walking since things are more spread out in rural areas. Suggested age 14 and up (those under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.)

The exact location for this event will be sent to you in an email. It will be about 1 hour northwest of the Twin Cities.

Accessibility: this event will be held on and off trail and will require bushwhacking, going up and down hills, and walking over logs and other obstacles. Total distance traveled will be about 4 miles.

Sliding scale $70 - $90.
