Join other mushroom foraging enthusiasts as instructor Frank Baressi delves into the world of wild local mushrooms for the Fall season. This class will cover some mycology basics, mushroom hunting safety, a basic overview of local edible species, and the process of identifying unknown species. This is a hybrid class consisting of one hour of traditional classroom learning in the Bracken room at the Corry Hi-Ed followed by 90-minutes of “field” learning at Mead Park. At Mead Park, participants will be guided on how to find the best places to look for mushrooms and will get an opportunity to get hands-on experience hunting for mushrooms.

The class will be held on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 4p-6:30p. This is a hybrid class with classroom instruction starting at the Corry Hi-Ed from 4p-5p, and field instruction at Mead Park from 5p-6:30p.
