We’re so excited to share the forests that nurtured our nascent love of fungi with you.

Our first annual Mush Camp will be 4 days packed with hiking, swimming, foraging, special guest mycology speakers, and most importantly Mushrooming! 

There are a few mushroom festivals in the Midwest devoted to Morels or Psilocybin, 

but we will be focused on the science of mycology, foraging, and embracing the community around us. 

Join us on guided forays through pristine forests, learning to identify, photograph, and collect a myriad of fascinating fungi species. 

Experience some of the oldest geological features on earth in a second-growth forest oasis!

Engage in hands-on education through identification and microscopy to deepen your understanding of mycology, cultivation, sustainability, and community. 

Connect with your fellow club members over a campfire and hopefully forge friendships that will last a lifetime!

Mead has also agreed to share her sacred wild berry spots…..keep in mind that after tasting wild berries, store bought berries will taste like sugar-free diet berries 🤧
