Spring Mushroom Foraging with Jared Urchek [OFFSITE]
May 6, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
![](https://i2.wp.com/foxhavenfarm.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65e61a64ecd55be41f6e3d9f8a846754-eUl16s.tmp_.jpg?fit=2000%2C1000&ssl=1)
Mushroom foraging is a popular pursuit in our area, but it can be difficult to search for wild edibles safely, especially without the know-how to identify your findings. In this pop-up foray, we will walk the lands of the Catoctin Watershed scouting for mushrooms with field guide, Jared Urchek. This class will require walking off the beaten path, please dress accordingly. If you have a mushroom ID book, we highly recommend you bring it!
Please note: This event will be held offsite in the Frederick Watershed NOT AT FOX HAVEN. Directions will be emailed to participants the week of the event.
Your teacher, Jared Urchek of Vital Traditions Acupuncture is one of our most trusted mushroom foragers. We’ll enter the forest and talk about how to search for mushrooms and what varieties are available in the spring under or in association with which trees. We’ll hopefully get a little haul to fry up as well!
*Though we hope to find edible mushrooms, there is no guarantee. Our intent is to help provide you with some working knowledge so that you can build a safe foraging practice for yourself.

Continuing in 2023 Fox Haven will pay $2 from every ticket sale to the Piscataway Land Trust as a LandBack tax for the land Fox Haven inhabits. Land taxes to indigenous nations function similarly to paying rent or a home mortgage. Payments such as a mortgage provide access to living space, whereas LandBack taxes recognize our access to stolen Indigenous land.
The Piscataway Land Trust is a long-term Indigenous-led effort led by the 501(c)(3) Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Inc. to restore and rematriate ancestral land and sovereignty in the Chesapeake region to Piscataway and other Chesapeake Indigenous people. To learn more or pay land tax, visit: https://www.piscatawayindians.com/projects
About LandBack Tax
From 2022 onward, Fox Haven will donate $2 from each event ticket to the Kikeokan Foundation to pay LandBack tax, acknowledging our access to stolen Indigenous land. The Kikeokan Foundation is an Indigenous-led initiative working to restore ancestral land and sovereignty to the Piscataway and other Indigenous communities of the Chesapeake.
