Mushroom Hunting 101

Mushrooms are a delight for animals and people alike. Explore the realm of fungi and learn what it takes to go mushroom hunting.

At a free webinar, Nikki King, a naturalist with the Missouri Department of Conservation, will discuss what it takes to go mushroom hunting, where to go, and which mushrooms to look for that can be served up tasty on a dinner plate.

The virtual Mushroom Hunting 101 class will be held on Saturday, May 27 from 1 – 2 p.m.

This class will also explore how fungi, such as mushrooms, play a role in the ecological cycles of forests and grasslands.

The class is open to participants ages 12 and older. Registration is required. To learn more, visit mdc.mo.gov.
