Pay-for Forays

There has been a lot of discussion recently on the pluses and minuses of the explosion in the mushroom world of folks charging to take others on forays. I will address that. I've done over 200 of them.

I teach my forayers how to identify mushrooms. I teach about the habitat, including trees, plants, and even geology if some are interested.

These people rarely want to join a mushroom club to learn. They want to know only one thing on their day with me: Can I eat this? Let's talk about these forays. (My very first organized foray was when I went on a pay-for foray over 30 years ago with David Arora and the Late Great Larry Stickney.)
