Quail Hollow Ranch Local Foray (by )
WHAT:
WHEN:
WHERE:
Foraging is not normally allowed in this area, but we are given the opportunity to pick, and possibly cook what we find. Folks who would like to attend are required to sign up through the park. All are subject to cancellation/possible location change
SIGN UP/Confirmation is REQUIRED
Registration will open up 2 weeks before the scheduled foray.
For years, the FFSC has led forays in this highly productive and diverse area. 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.
Please note:
- All local forays are subject to cancellation/possible location changes.
- Be considerate and signup only if you can attend.
- Do not show up if you have not gotten a confirmation from the local foray minister.
Happy Hunting

Minister of Local Forays
