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 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.

SIGN UP/Confirmation is REQUIRED
Amanitas, Boletes, Chroogomphus, Suillus, Trametes and Tremella have all been found here, just to name a few. While there is no guarantee as to how the low levels of rain fall will affect the kinds of fungi we find this year, it promises to be a beautiful hike through varying types of terrain: Shady Oak groves, grassy fields, Manzanita thickets, and Pine trees. Further within the park, one will find winding Redwood paths and sandstone wall formations that are part of the Sandhill habitat that lies between Ben Lomond and Scotts Valley. The trails vary in difficulty; very flat and easy to somewhat 
moderate.
Quail Hollow has given us permission to pick within the park but we cannot take anything we pick outside of the park. Parking at the Ranch is very limited so car pooling is recommended, as there is no street parking. Through the efforts of previous forays, the FFSC has created a good relationship with park leaders, and we ask that you please respect their requests.
