#CamdenME - #MushroomForaging Workshop with Greg Marley

July 25 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Cost is $70 for Merryspring members; $80 for non-members
Pre-registration is required

"Greg Marley will lead an outdoor presentation on Foraging Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms at Merryspring Nature Center on Saturday, July 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Everyone is fascinated by wild mushrooms. From foraging and eating, to medicinal use and the use of psychedelics to improve creativity and address depression. The only thing standing in the way is acquiring the knowledge and confidence to tell the good mushrooms from those that can sicken you. The good news is that there are a handful of common, easily identified, great edibles or medicinals that can satisfy most peoples hunger for mushrooms. Maine is home to a number of world-class edible mushrooms easily found as you enjoy a walk through the woods and fields.

This day-long class helps to build the basic knowledge needed to identify common mushrooms and to begin a lifetime of wild mushrooming. The class will combine indoor lecture and outdoor experience in the forest to explore identification features, ecology and the seasonal occurrence of mushrooms. We will look at edible as well as common poisonous mushrooms and may end the day by cooking some of the mushrooms we find. Learn a few common edible and medicinal mushrooms and build skills to identify more."
