Highlights
Delve into the fascinating world of mushrooms with a guided foraging class! This two-hour experience is tailored for first-time foragers eager to uncover the secrets of wild mushrooms. Learn to safely discern edible varieties from their lookalikes (both toxic and inedible varieties), the specific trees and ecosystems that different mushrooms are associated with, and when they are in season...all while exploring the lush green forests that Washington is famous for. Even if you're afraid of mushrooms, we will demystify scary mushroom myths and give you confidence and skills to keep exploring on your own long after class ends. Your future hikes will never be the same! Guests are allowed to keep the mushrooms they encounter during class. We make sure guests never go home empty-handed, so in the event wild finds are light, we will provide each guest with a bag of fresh gourmet mushrooms to take home, along with recipe ideas.

About Seattle
Seattle is a Pacific Northwest port city between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Space Needle, a harbour market and Mount Rainier on the horizon.
Seattle fills the narrow land between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Olympic Mountains to the west and Mount Rainier to the south-east on clear days. The Space Needle, built for the 1962 World's Fair, stands in Seattle Center beside the Museum of Pop Culture. Pike Place Market, open since 1907, overlooks the waterfront with fish stalls, flower sellers and crafts.
