Learn what basic equipment to take on a foray and how to use them. We will spend a fair amount of time observing mushrooms, learning how to use a loupe and getting comfortable using field guides. We’ll discuss how to make a spore print, why it’s necessary and best practices to harvest, collect and transport mushrooms. Bring a mushroom or tree ID book that you want to learn to use and jewelers loupe or magnifying glass if you have one.
