College Outdoors
Mushroom Hunting Clinic Weekend
- Excited to show off 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 on Friday night and head to our lodging at a cute charter school near the ocean. On Saturday, we’ll forage for the fruits of the forest with hopes to find enough chanterelles for dinner. Sunday, we’ll be out again to forage some more so that everyone can take some tasty mushrooms home with them once we are back on campus on Sunday afternoon.

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 and sleep on foam pads indoors on the floor. 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.
