Guided Forays in the San Juans

I have hunted wild mushrooms my entire adult life. Join me on a walk in the woods sure to satisfy the naturalist, gourmet and child (at heart) alike. Both basic and advanced knowledge of wild plants and mushrooms will be shared.

- Learn how mushrooms grow and what they can do for you

- Learn to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous species

- Connect with nature

- Bring home dinner

Guided forays are by appointment. I offer half-day outings into the mountains from Durango, Mancos and Bayfield. Call Chris at 970.884.0877 for rates and availability. Often the best hunting is in wet weather (August - October) so be prepared for a hardy tromp! We will bring a picnic and enjoy ourselves.
