🍄 Discover the Hidden Treasures of Minnesota's Forests: A Wild Mushroom Foray with Pizza Making in the Woods! 🍄

Join us for an unforgettable 4-hour adventure in the heart of Minnesota's lush forests, where we'll embark on a fascinating journey in search of summer mushrooms. Led by Mike Kempenich, owner of Gentleman Forager and esteemed past instructor at both the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin's wild mushroom identification certification classes, this hands-on learning experience promises to be an exceptional event for all nature enthusiasts.

🌿 What to Expect 🌿 Step into the enchanting world of wild mushrooms as Mike shares his expertise and passion for these natural wonders. During our foray, you'll learn how to positively identify a variety of Minnesota's most sought-after mushrooms (based on conditions), including the delectable chanterelles, numerous species of boletes, honey  mushrooms, slippery jacks, among many others.

🍕 Live Pizza Making 🍕 But the adventure doesn't end with the foray! After our exhilarating mushroom hunt, we'll gather together in the picturesque woods for a unique live pizza-making session.

You'll be able to savor the flavors of the forest in each delectable slice, creating an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

⚠️ Nature's Mystery ⚠️ As every forager knows, nature is full of surprises, and there is never any guarantee of what we'll find. The level of success on our mushroom hunt is greatly influenced by rainfall and weather conditions.
