A MSSF members foray will be held at the Point Reyes National Seashore on Saturday February 3rd beginning at 10:00 AM and ending at about 1:00pm. The February foray will be lead by David Gardella, MSSF Mendocino Camp Co-Director & Council member. This foray will cater to new mushroom foragers but attendees who have previous experience are welcome as well. We will do a fair amount of walking/hiking which will include going up and down hills so please be prepared for a physically active day. 

This foray is free, first come first served, and open to MSSF adult members in good standing. Please check your MSSF account and ensure your dues are paid and up to date! Sorry no guests or non members will be allowed. In order to keep the foray to a manageable size there is a limit of two members per registration.

You will receive additional information on the Point Reyes meet up location and suggested items to bring, a few days before the foray date.

See you in the forests!

COVID-19 NOTE: 
Please do NOT register for or attend this event if you either (1) are not fully vaccinated against covid-19, or (2) are feeling unwell or experiencing any cold or covid symptom on the day of the event. Wearing a mask while attending this event is optional but - in view of the current surge and new variant - you are encouraged to do so when you are not actually eating or drinking.

MUSHROOM I.D. TABLE: The Culinary Group shares fully in MSSF's educational mission. Please bring a freshly-foraged mushroom sample from the forest (or your yard) to place on our Group's regular Mushroom I.D. Table, where the more experienced mycologists among us will be helping the newbies learn how to spot the edibles and avoid the "loose your lunch bunch."  (Don't worry -- none of them will go in the soup!)

Problems? Call Paul Lufkin (415-515-1593) or Maria Pham (415-305-3316), Culinary Group Co-Chairs.
