Common Questions
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. No foraging experience is needed — tours are designed to work for total beginners and experienced foragers alike. We start with the basics and build from there.
Will we find edible mushrooms?
Maybe, but please don’t book counting on it. Mushroom foraging is unpredictable. Some tours find enough for dinner, some find a handful, and some don't turn up any choice edibles at all. We're often visiting an area for the first time that season, and the spots that work for a group are ones other foragers can reach too. Come for the learning; anything that goes home for dinner is a bonus. Whatever the forest is producing that day, we’ll work through it together.
What is the cancellation policy?
Tours run rain or shine in normal PNW conditions. If we need to cancel due to unsafe weather or low enrollment, you’ll receive a full refund or credit toward a future tour. If you need to cancel: Cancel at least 3 days before the tour for a full refund. That's when the exact meeting location goes out, so bookings can't be refunded after that point.
Can I keep what we find?
Yes. Please get a positive ID from an expert before eating anything. Either confirm with your guide or email/txt photos to Jeremy.
