Join us for a mycological mixer with Bay Area Applied Mycology at Salt Point State Park!
Please leave pets at home, they are not allowed on any of the trails we use, see here for more information. 

Join experienced SOMA mushroom guides on a mushroom foray and potluck at Salt Point State Park. Learn how to find and identify the diverse bounty of mushrooms in the coastal forest of Northern California. We will be at Woodside Campground Parking Lot.

See details about our forays including what to bring, our liability form (required) and other important info here.

There are about a dozen common edible mushrooms species found in the Douglas Fir/Tanoak/Redwood/Huckleberry ecosystem along with a kaleidoscope of other mushrooms, some with the potential to dye fabric, others with medicinal uses, and even a few toxic species. 

Veteran mushroom hunters from SOMA will take groups of ~15 people through the various habitats of Salt Point State Park. Edible species are often encountered, sometimes in great abundance! Regardless of our luck, you will learn to identify many of the common species in our coastal forests and enjoy a lunch entree prepared by SOMA chefs. We always provide a vegan/gf option. Please bring a pot luck appetizer or desert if you can, and kindly label it with any food allergen ingredients.
