Pipi Valley campground, Eldorado CA
TENTATIVE DATES!
This camping foray takes place in the Sierras at the PiPi Valley campground off Highway 88, between Jackson and Kirkwood. It traditionally takes place on the first weekend of May, or as soon as the snow has melted. For this reason the date is somewhat flexible, so stay tuned for updates. We usually find either morels, Spring King boletes, or both, and often coccoras. The campground is gorgeous with the Consumes River running through it...
Quail Hollow Ranch Winter Foray
I am pleased to announce a Winter foray at Quail Hollow Ranch in Felton. All the normal preparations for wandering through the woods apply: it should be cold and wet. Picking in this location is like Henry Cowell, we can pick but nothing can leave the ranch...
Albion II Foray, Mendocino Coast
The Albion II foray to Mendocino County offers a great opportunity to spend the weekend at the lovely Albion Field Station. We always have a wonderful time. This second foray of the season offers forays for a variety of fungal species, including black trumpets. For our new members this is an opportunity to socialize with a wide array of members and see some great mushroom habitat...
NAMA Foray, Scotts Valley
FORAY FULL
Quail Hollow Ranch Fall Foray
The Ranch features diverse habitat ranging from our normal oak/madrone woodlands, to stands of pine and sandy thickets of manzanita. The terrain goes from flat to quite hilly, but the trails are usually well maintained. We can pick but nothing can leave the Ranch. Mushrooms collected will be cooked up following the foray. Foray registration is required and group size is limited so sign up by calling the park at 831.335.9348 Friday - Sunday...
