Registration for this event will open on Dec 1st using this link.
Join experienced SOMA mushroom guides on a mushroom foray and potluck at Salt Point State Park. Learn how to find and identify the diverse bounty of mushrooms in the coastal forest of Northern California. We will be at Woodside Campground Parking Lot.
There are about a dozen common edible mushrooms species found in the Douglas Fir/Tanoak/Redwood/Huckleberry ecosystem along with a kaleidoscope of other mushrooms, some with the potential to dye fabric, others with medicinal uses, and even a few toxic species.
Veteran mushroom hunters from SOMA will take groups of ~15 people through the various habitats of Salt Point State Park. Edible species are often encountered, sometimes in great abundance! Regardless of our luck, you will learn to identify many of the common species in our coastal forests and enjoy a lunch entree prepared by SOMA chefs. We always provide a vegan/gf option. Please bring a pot luck appetizer or desert if you can, and kindly label it with any food allergen ingredients.
If this shows as sold out, it is, and our ticket count is limited by the park’s rules. If you miss this one, consider joining us at SOMA Camp where we will have multitudes of foraging opportunities! Otherwise, our typical schedule resumes in February with more opportunities at Salt Point. We also have other outings at CYO and Point Reyes - please see our full calendar.
