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.Are you guaranteed to find mushrooms?
Foraging is a real outdoor experience, not a staged event — conditions vary and nature doesn’t guarantee finds. That said, we know where to look and the skills you’ll gain are yours to keep regardless of what we find. Most tours produce a good haul in season.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. Please contact us at least 48 hours in advance if you need to cancel your booking.Can I keep what we find?
Yes — anything we harvest together is yours to take home and eat. We’ll also share tips on safe cleaning, storage, and cooking for whatever species we find.About The Host
