Where do we meet?

Location will be determined the week before the event depending on where the mushrooms are popping up (in the lower mainland).  Usually we start in higher elevations in Sept/Oct on the North Shore and move to lower elevations in November/Dec.  Check your email the week before your scheduled class for meeting point information.  If you don’t have a car be sure to book late October and November dates which are transit accessible. 

The class is not a live cooking class or a harvesting trip, the class will study edible mushrooms in their habitat and discuss ethical and sustainable harvesting. It is illegal to harvest in all parks in BC, private land and indigenous reserve lands, so we’ll teach you about areas you can legally pick and how to find you’re own mushroom patches.

Our team lives and teaches on the unceeded territory of indigenous peoples in BC. If you are are indigenous from a BC nation, we would love for you to attend classes at no charge.  We also work with First Nation groups to offer private classes pro-bono in areas where we teach, please contact us for details.
