Event Summary: Learn how to grow the skills necessary for Wild Mushroom Foraging and Cultivation, whether in the lab or the Field.

Event Description: The class will begin by introducing the fundamentals of mushroom foraging, including essential gear and safety precautions for collecting mushrooms. Students will also learn professional identification techniques, such as making a spore print and effectively using a local field guide. For edible mushrooms, the course will further explore tissue sampling techniques for cultivation, including tissue cloning, transfers, and inoculation. By the end of this class, participants will have acquired practical and hands-on professional knowledge to safely forage and cultivate the same genetics they collect in the field.
