Hunting & Cooking Mushrooms

Smell the fresh air, walk in nature, and learn about the land. Join the Chick of the Woods, Jaime Rockney, on a quest for fungi and other wild edibles. We will meet at a local park, learn about the local ecosystem and the edibles we might find. Then it's time to start our adventure. Afterwards, we will add our wild, foraged food to our lunch menu!
