ABOUT THE CLASS

There are thousands of mushroom species in Texas and only a small amount of them are considered choice edibles. Forage.atx will teach you when, where and how to identify wild edibles, their look-alikes, and get tips on collecting, prepping and cooking. We will talk about the ethics of foraging and how we can all be better relatives to the fungi “kindom.”

Take your foraging to the next level! Forage.atx made this 'Wild Edible Mushroom of Texas Calendar' to share with everyone! The calendar is categorized timing, regions, and levels. Level 1 mushrooms with NO toxic or poisonous look-alikes in Texas and LEVEL 2, mushrooms WITH toxic or poisonous look-alikes in Texas. Let’s get out into the woods!
