Mushroom Hunting San Francisco (Oakland)
Tax included.
Description
Together, we embark on an exciting mushroom hunt. Nature shines in vibrant colors around us, enticing with its unique diversity. Each season brings its own special mushroom varieties, ensuring that no hike is ever the same.
The mushrooms of the warmer months are a true treasure chest: from bay boletes to chanterelles and porcini mushrooms – there’s always something new to discover. It takes a sharp eye and keen senses to find them. But don’t worry if you’re a beginner: our experienced Wyldforest guides are here to support you, making the mushroom hunt an unforgettable experience.
With a bit of luck, we’ll find delicious mushrooms like cauliflower mushrooms, bay boletes, and parasol mushrooms amidst the vibrant forest. But it’s about more than just finding mushrooms. It’s an invitation to rediscover nature, unearth its treasures, and foster a deeper connection with our surroundings.
Beyond being a typical mushroom hike, a Wyldforest mushroom hike offers a holistic nature experience. In addition to the exciting mushroom search, we’ll take breaks for relaxing moments and enriching conversations. You’ll learn more about the forest ecosystem, its inhabitants, and the vital role mushrooms play within it.
Doesn’t that sound enticing? Take this opportunity to escape from everyday life and dive into the fascinating world of the forest with us. We warmly invite you to book your mushroom hike. Whether you come alone, with friends, or with your family – everyone is welcome.

Schedule
The day has finally arrived for your mushroom hike! We’ll meet ten minutes before the start time at the agreed-upon meeting point. This is a great chance to get to know the other participants before we head into the forest promptly. After a quick round of introductions, we’ll set off together into the woods.
There’s plenty to discover on our hike. At several stations, you’ll have the chance to apply your newly acquired knowledge and search for mushrooms on your own. We’ll review and discuss your findings as a group.
At the end of the hike, we’ll reflect on our shared adventure before everyone goes their separate ways – with the hope of seeing each other again one day.

We felt very comfortable and well-informed during the hike. Our guide shared her knowledge excellently. We participated in the mushroom tour. Mushrooms were new to me, but after the tour, I feel confident in identifying three different edible mushrooms. The information about herbs was also very helpful, adding to my basic knowledge. For us, it was a wonderful experience that leaves us wanting more.
