Spring Mushroom Foraging Pop-Up [SOLD OUT]

April 2, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

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 Fox Haven scouting for mushrooms with field guide, El McFarland. 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!

*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.

*The date for this event is tentative depending on the best possible weather conditions for mushroom hunting. All attendees will be notified if this event will be held on this date or moved depending on recent rainfall.

Beginning in 2022, 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.
