Join America's troubadour of the toadstool on a quest for the edible and incredible wild mushroom. On this woodland shopping spree, you'll begin to learn how to safely identify, appreciate, and maybe even eat nature's "extreme cuisine." Can mushrooms really prevent and cure cancer? Aren’t most mushrooms only edible ONCE? Enjoy a lesson in "find dining" as Asheville's stand-up mycomedian separates fungal fact from fiction. The walk will be short and easy; all ages welcome. Alan's introductory e-book is included and all equipment is provided. For a taste of the wild life, forage ahead and gain some basic training in high-class survival.
