Join us on Sunday · May 3rd · 10pm SHARP to spend quality time in nature.

We welcome you, your friends, and family to join us for a forage fit for all ages and experience levels. If you love mushrooms, you will be right at home learning how their underlying organism, mycelium, made and still makes all life on our planet possible.

From learning to id mushrooms, to understanding which kinds are edible, to meditating together to prepare for the week head, you will be sure to make a new friend or two and clear your head.

Please show up immediately at 10am or you could get left behind.

We will have custom Bay Staters Mushroom Guide Books and GROW KITS available for donation if you want to support our team as we make nature education accessible across the land.

We will be hosting Assebet River Pollinator Fest in the afternoon if you want to carpool to Maynard and learn how to protect bees. Seats limited

Please wear comfy, close-toed shoes, wear sunscreen, and bring some water.

This event is fun and accessible for all ages (family friendly).

If you have a disability, we will happily accomodate you: [email protected]
