Discover the Sierra Nevada's Wild Mushrooms
When weather and temperatures align just right, elusive and delicious mushrooms begin emerging throughout the Sierra Nevada. Join us for an expert-guided mushroom foraging adventure and learn how to find, identify, and responsibly forage wild fungi in their natural habitat.
On our forays, we've discovered morels, oysters, king and queen boletes, lion's mane, chanterelles, blewits, shrimp russulas, chicken of the woods, and many other prized edible and medicinal fungi.
Learn From Experienced Fungi Guides
Our local experts will guide you through productive seasonal habitats while teaching you how to properly identify mushrooms and understand the trees, terrain, and forest environments where they thrive.
Many foragers spend years searching unsuccessfully for some of these highly sought-after mushrooms. Our goal is to help shorten that learning curve and give you the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring and foraging on your own.
More Than Mushroom Hunting
A fungi foray is about more than finding mushrooms. It's an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, discover hidden treasures, and develop a deeper understanding of the Sierra Nevada forest ecosystem and the essential role fungi play within it.
Come join us in the forest for a unique and unforgettable adventure!
