Foray cancelled. Unfortunately, reports of bone dry conditions and few sign ups compelled us to cancel this annual foray. Next year we hope for better dates and weather!
Our Annual Echo Summit Foray is scheduled for September 2 - 5, Labor Day Weekend, at the California Alpine Club’s Echo Summit Lodge, with breathtaking views overlooking the Tahoe Basin. If thunderstorms cooperate we will find quite a variety of fungi, including edibles, such as Bol
etus and Leccinum. Regardless of the number of mushrooms found, we always have a wonderful time.
There is no limit to the foray size itself. FFSC members are welcome to stay off site and join us for the foray and meals. There is also RV parking next to the lodge. The lodge fills up fast so make sure you reserve your space in advance. Reservations for the lodge will open August 1. You must be a FFSC member for you and your family to attend.

Every year as the snows melt and the ground warms, some very delicious mushrooms coax their way up through the ground. One of those is the coveted morel, others include Spring King boletes, and often Coccoras. This year's weather and snow pack has every indication that we will have a very successful foray. Current FFSC members who are logged in on the website can get the location and date in the Members-only information to follow. You won't see it if you aren't logged in! Click Read More below.
