Interested in signing up but don’t know what happens at our events? Here’s an overview:

The club gives walks and classes throughout the mushroom season in Vermont. On a mushroom walk, we will meet outdoors for an easy hike and collect specimens in the woods. Afterwards, we will meet as a group at a picnic area or other location nearby, and organize our finds. We’ll identify what we’ve found, eat some lunch, and socialize. The whole process takes between 2-4 hours, depending on how good the mushrooming is. The more mushrooms there are, the longer we’re in the woods!

Our Intro to Mycology classes take place 2-3 times throughout the season. They’re formal lectures given in a classroom setting and sometimes via Zoom, and are great for anyone who is interested in gaining a solid sense of the fundamentals of mycology (mushroom science).

Here’s a list of general locations that our classes and walks will be in this season. We aim to have 2-3 walks a season for each region of Vermont: North, Central, and South. Listed below are the towns and regions for each event. Our complete list of walks with precise times and locations is available to paying members.

FAQs

  • You get access to all of our walks from June-October, news about upcoming mushroom events in our region, news about what’s fruiting, and access to our spring Introduction to Mycology class.

  • A mushroom walk begins with a walk through the woods or other habitat. We’ll collect specimens, and an expert walk leader will provide real time info about some specimens. Then, after an hour or two (depending on how good the mushrooming is!) we will meet back at a specified location to identify what we collected, chat, and eat lunch. This whole process usually takes between 2-4 hours.

  • We welcome children on our walks! All of our events are suitable for children as long as they are supervised by a responsible adult, but they are not specifically tailored to children unless specified. Our members range from infant to 80+ years old, and we purposefully choose our walk locations to be accessible for people of all abilities.

  • Whenever possible, we choose walks that are suitable for people with limited mobility. We try to avoid any large inclines, and we always go slow.

    Due to Vermont’s rural nature, we unfortunately are not usually able to find sites with bathrooms, but walk leaders carry toilet paper in case of emergencies!
