About the event
Search for wild mushrooms and learn general classifications and identifying characteristics. Dale Johnson, who has been exploring the woods for wild mushrooms for over 30 years, will be leading this spring mushroom foraging expedition. Bring your bear spray and a basket to collect mushrooms. Guidebooks will be provided for hands on identification.
Accessibility: Hunting for mushrooms requires off-trail travel, but the education components will all take place in the parking area.
This program is free and family friendly! We know committing to plans can be difficult--your RSVP is appreciated but not required. When you RSVP, be sure to do so for each member of your party and cancel if you change plans.
Note on Woods Lake Trailhead: The drive out to this trailhead follows a long dirt road that is rough in spots. Please plan accordingly as it about a 30 minute drive from Whitefish. If using google maps, make sure the map is routing you past Beaver Lakes Trailhead.
