Do you love mushrooms?
Did you know that eating mushrooms is called Mycophagy? Mushrooms are, of course, a cornerstone of the wild food experience, but learning about them can be daunting!
Would you like to learn, identify, and harvest mushrooms yourself but aren’t quite sure where to start? Then it’s time to check out the North American Mycological Association!
The North American Mycological Association has 97 affiliate clubs across the US, Canada, and Mexico — so there’s probably a chapter near you!
You can find out at NAMyco.org.
For a completely immersive, in-person experience, including lectures, workshops, foraging, AND, of course, Mycophagy, you can attend their annual foray.
This 2022 Foray will be in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks.
Go here to register. When you do, mention WildFed, and you’ll get a free copy of Maxine Stone's book: Missouri's Wild Mushrooms when you attend.
Again, go to NAMyco.org to get started!
