Darrington 2022 – Recap

I’d like to send a big thanks out to everyone that attended the tours on Saturday and our show on Sunday. It is so fun meeting other mushroom enthusiasts and I love seeing this community grow.

We didn’t have a ton of luck in the forest but we did manage to find a couple nice lobster spots, a few chanterelles, and a modest sample of other mushrooms. 15 of you may have found your first lobster.

If you had tickets to either the Saturday tours, or the show on Sunday, you may join at the Intro-level for free. I already emailed instructions if I had your email address. Otherwise, please use the contact form below to request a discount code.
