This was such a great experience!

Adam is absolutely fantastic. So knowledgeable, so personable, and a great host. I did come home with some Chantelle’s and chicken of the forest, sautéed them with a little salt and pepper, and had a great dinner! Thank you so much for a great experience!

Mushroom Hunting Chicago

I bought the trip as a gift for My wife and best friend.

I bought this trip for my wife and kids, I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I’m happy to report that they LOVED it. They said their guide Kat (or Cat) was fantastic. They said she was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience very fun for everyone. They are very much looking forward to doing another trip with her later this year!! A great experience!

Thanks,
DT

Mushroom Hunting Indianapolis (South)

Our guide was wonderful.

Nice and knowledgeable. It was a good trek despite some mud and we didn’t see many mushrooms, but we still learned a lot there!

Mushroom Hunting San Francisco

We had the best time!

The group was so much fun and Dean was a fantastic guide. We all learned a lot. I don't know what could have been better. The only thing would be if we had found heaps of mushrooms, but knowing that is not how nature works it is ok! We are talking about doing one in the Santa Cruz area next! Thank you for having this experience!
