College Outdoors
Mushroom Hunting Clinic Day Trip
Posing with a giant mushroom
Oregon has an enormous number of mushroom species and it’s no wonder, with all this rain! As long as you’re living in Oregon and since they taste so good, you might as well be introduced to some of them. We will leave first thing in the morning and head to coastal forests where we’ll search for all sorts of fascinating fungi, and return to campus that night. Conditions permitting, these clinics culminate in a mushroom feast!

No experience necessary! We’ll teach you everything you need to know about mushrooms and foraging for them.
Participants should be prepared to spend several hours outdoors walking on uneven terrain. Hiking distance and speed will be low since we’ll be looking for and learning about fungi; less than 3 miles per day.
This trip lends itself well to a wide variety of accessibility accommodations, including mobility accommodations. Contact outdoors@lclark.edu.
