Hey there, morel hunter! Before you grab your ticket and start dreaming about golden fungi, here are a few things to know: 🌧️ Rain or Shine – Morels Love the Rain, and So Will You! Let’s be real—if we only foraged on sunny days, we’d all be eating grocery store mushrooms. The Black Morel Hootenanny happens no matter what the weather throws at us—because morels don’t take rain checks, and neither do we! Pack a raincoat, some good boots, and a sense of adventure. 🚫 No Refunds – But You Can Pass Your Ticket to a Fellow Fun-Guy (or Gal)! We totally get that life happens. While we can’t offer refunds, it’s not because we don’t love you—it’s because planning an event like this takes serious work, from booking shuttles to coordinating chefs and securing locations. That means every ticket sold helps make the event possible. However, if you can’t make it, you’re more than welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend. Just let us know so we don’t think some random person is stealing your morels. 🥾 Nature is Not a Sidewalk Foraging means walking through real, wild terrain—think uneven ground, the occasional mud patch, and possibly a few rogue twigs trying to trip you. If hiking through the woods isn’t your thing, this might not be your jam. But if it is your thing, we promise an unforgettable experience. 📧 We’ll Send You the Need-to-Know Stuff Once you’re signed up, keep an eye on your inbox. We’ll send you everything you need to know before the event—like where to meet, what to bring, and a gentle reminder that morels don’t like to be overcooked. By purchasing a ticket, you agree that you’re in for a rain-or-shine, no-refund, adventure-packed experience—and we can’t wait to see you there!
