Edible Mushrooms

SATURDAY, October 14 · 3pm – 5pm
Long Island is home to a variety of delicious edible mushrooms, but identification can be intimidating for those new to foraging. Come learn about our region’s most charismatic and beginner-friendly species and develop some skills and vocabulary for identifying fungi in the field through a brief talk and a walk and field ID session through CEED-adjacent woodlands.

This introductory class is taught by Conor Cash, who has been foraging and cultivating edible, medicinal and aesthetic mushrooms since 2010.
