Fall Wild Mushroom Hunt

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 mushroom foraging expedition. Bring your bear spray and a basket to collect mushrooms. Guidebooks will be provided for hands on identification.

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 via email if you change plans.

ACCESSIBILITY: We are happy to chat--please reach out with any questions about accessibility! The education portion of this event will take place in the parking lot but searching for mushrooms will require travel on and/or off the trail. The trailhead has accessible parking spots and bathroom set on a gravel surface. This trail can be accessed by walking, using an off road mobility device, and wagons/strollers.

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.
