Map and Compass Workshop, April 3, 2016
With our attention on the ground, and the excitement of treasure hidden in the duff, it is easy for us mycophiles to become direction-disoriented (i.e.lost). Then too, injury or weather can make return travel impossible. It has happened to a number of us and poses a threat to our safety. This map and compass workshop is designed to help you use a map and compass to find your way. It is suitable for first-timers and for those looking to refresh their skills for the season.
This class will be limited to FFSC members at first. If it doesn't fill, the enrollment will be extended to non-members. Enrollment is limited to 12.
Survival Skills Strategies Workshop 2016 (by )
Survival Skills Strategies Workshop April 2, 2016
As mushroom foragers we travel off-trail often in steep and remote terrain so this workshop is designed to introduce participants to survival tactics that might save their lives if they get lost or stranded on a foray. Besides, it’s also just plain fun.
This class will be limited to FFSC members at first. Last year this workshop filled within hours. If it doesn't fill, the enrollment will be extended to non-members. Enrollment is limited to 18.

Exploring the Soquel Demonstration Forest at the FFSC local foray in February, and though the weather was amazing, the fleshy fungi were few and far between... None-the-less, there was some really cool finds, including Hericium coralloides (a choice edible related to Lion's Mane), an Auriscalpium vulgare.
